Welcome all! Papa G here. Today I present a New Orleans classic… Shrimp and Grits. Now, since low-carb is a priority on this channel, we’ll be using cauliflower in place of corn to produce a very similar taste in texture, but everything else will be classic New Orleans flavor. Let’s get started.
Begin with a pound of raw, shelled and deveined shrimp. Add some Creole seasoning. I’ll be using my favorite Tony Chachere’s, but any containing salt will work. Mix with your hands to evenly coat. Cover this and store in the refrigerator.
We’ll prep 8 ounces of andouille sausage. Some brands may have a non edible paper casing like this one. If so, remove before cutting. You can substitute smoked sausage as well if you prefer, but for the taste profile we want, andouille works the best. Dice into bite-sized pieces.
Do the same with 6 slices of bacon. They don’t have to be very small. We’re aiming for bite size. I find using pre-riced frozen cauliflower to work the easiest for this recipe. We’ll need two of these – one and a half cup bags. Cook by
Microwaving these according to the package directions before putting into the pot. Add the cooked cauliflower to a sauce pot on medium heat. Add some heavy cream; one of two tablespoons of unsalted butter; some salt; ground black pepper; and
Some garlic powder. Give a mix to incorporate and allow the butter to melt. Now add the second tablespoon of butter and continue to mix to melt in. Once all the butter is melted, stir in some shredded Parmesan cheese.
Cover this to keep warm and remove from the heat. To a large rimmed skillet or saute pan, add our chopped andouille and bacon. Cook for a few minutes until the bacon is about halfway cooked. Add a quarter
Cup of chopped green onions and continue to cook until the bacon is done. Add some minced garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Now we’ll construct the sauce by adding some Worcestershire sauce and 8 of the 12 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Give a mix to melt in and deglaze the pan. Now add some Creole seasoning and some ground black pepper. Mix in the juice of one lemon. Now it’s time to add the shrimp to the pan and give a stir to mix in. Add the rest of the butter and
Cook for about 6 to 10 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cook through. Remove the cover of our cauliflower grits and if they cool down, just rewarm before serving. These were perfect. Add some grits to a bowl or plate. Ladle over
Our shrimp and sauce. Garnish with a little green onions… and enjoy! There you have it folks! My Shrimp and Grits. A low-carb version of a classic New Orleans recipe. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did,

Looks great Papa G 👍
Yum! I miss grits.
What a wonderful menu idea! I hadn't even thought of doing shrimp and grits. Thank you so much for sharing this.
so delicious ,liked
Forget what the News Media pundits have to say; the ‘Next Hot Spot’ during this global pandemic is NOT the French Quarter, it’s epicenter is: Papa G’s New Orleans Shrimp & Grits!! 🤩🦐🍜
Looks delicious!
If you like the flavour, most types of baby corn have a similar carb count to cauliflower.
Looking good! Can't wait to try
Sounds like a Good Friday dinner to me! Sans sausage and bacon. Thank you and have a great 🐣 Easter.

Literally my favorite low carb YouTuber! PapaG, you know what I like, Mister! LoL 💕🌸🤗
That looks good.. thank you
im not sure but i think green giant also has herbed/ cheese califlower too dont they ? that would save some steps too either way you cant beat it . thank for a great meal idea and filling too , i bet this would also go great in a wrap , with other veggies too;];];] yumm;];]
Nice Content and great videos! I hope my videos get as good as yours one day😜 keep up the great work and you got a new Subscriber💪🏽
I have GOT to try this! Yummy!
I bet that is creamy and delicious, thank you
Thumbs up! Thanks for sharing.
Yummy looking. Butter, the fat of the Gods.
How I miss the Big Easy. I was never a big fan of grits, but this version with the cauliflower just might be the answer for the ol Canuck! 😉 Thank you Papa G!
Gawdoubledamn!! That looks amazing!
OMG!! Papa G!! Just made this today and made me feel like I was visiting New Orleans again! Went last year and loved the people and the food so much. I did add a smidgen of diced Anaheim chili to it and it added to the spice nicely.
The closest we can get to andouille around here is at Publix. It looks
NOTHINGlike that. It's a small 4-pack that looks like semi-fancy hotdogs. How do we get proper andouille without breaking the bank?Is there anywhere I can get a printed version of this recipe?
Papa can cook
Can't wait to try this. I use someone else's on keto for a similar dish was not good!! I know from using your recipes this is going to be a keeper for me and my husband!
If you bake cauliflower rice in a bulky kind of batch, takes all the cauliflower tastes right out of it and you have rice!!
Just found your channel. GREAT recipes and I APPRECIATE how you don't fill you vids with BS to make them 30 mins long for no reason! THANKS!
holy cow! this looks good
very glad i found your channel!
