Ingredient amounts (with grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

Here from South Georgia coast. You need to do the grits in chicken stock, it is a game changer for grits, then add cream at the end when you add the cheese. Do cheddar and gouda. We do bacon but also do some smoked sausage of your choice.

Nothing better than a Sip and Feast video to end the month.

Son was right about celery. LiL Dude impressed me when he topped off with hot sauce. I love a kid with a curious palate. You did good Parent Unit. lol.

“That’s because a Yankee made it!” Love that Tara! Telling it like it is!

Almost 1 million subs man. That’s awesome. You deserve it. Really enjoy your channel

[terroir]

I like it when you guys have different opinions and discuss! We can respect the taste tester's opinion but I always enjoy hearing your defense too 😁

[johnnyk]

If James does any cooking - dad better be the taste tester! He’s really keeping you on your toes..I love that!

[BCSpecht]

Instant recognition on the line from My Cousin Vinny! 😊 One of my favorite movies of all time.

[Jrad]

"Not everything has to be super flavorful" is the best line of the year! Sorta flavorful is OK! Love the videos!

[loridoyle]

One of the reasons I love your videos is that James doesn’t always love your food. REALITY! We may cook a delicious meal, but often our kids are not as impressed!! 😂❤

[metalgamer]

I love how you walk in from the other room when the video starts. Always gives me a good chuckle.

Classic Fall and Winter comfort food for us southerners. Not bad for a Yankee!😋😉

I once stopped at a McDonalds in Macon, Georgia. I ordered a bacon, cheese and egg biscuit. Never before (or since) have I tasted such a delicious sandwich. Southern people have their own delicious ways of cooking.

"This is what an 8 looks like" It looks just wonderful Chef..Don't know how it tastes but you get a 10 from me...

Made this and it was fantastic. We did change up how the grits were made and instead of the milk and water, I used 4 cups of chicken broth w/ 1 cup of grits + the usual butter and s&p. The actual shrimp portion, followed the recipe pretty close to the letter. Added Green Pepper along side the Red and it turned out amazing. Thank you!

[bobg]

I like how you roll up your sleeves while you ask him if you "brow beat" him. love the videos

[RThorne]

I made this tonight and it was amazing. I followed your recipe to the letter and it turned out perfectly! Thanks for another winning recipe!

[KeithSansevere]

I legit LOL'd when Jim said he wasn't impressed by the dish when he had it at the restaurant and the taste tester's glance at the camera spoke volumes 🤣

[TheWellnessCuess]

Thats has to be the best looking shrimp and grits I have ever seen ! ⭐
