Since moving to Savannah i have really come to love this dish. I have tried a few different recipes and winged it a few times and it always comes out good. Every time I cook or eat them out I can't help but think how my ettoufe would be( I use Prejeans recipe which is the best I have ever had) over grits.

I use I simple, reduced ettoufe base. I make shrimp & grits from scratch except my base. I buy a package of Louisina fish fry ettoufe base, add water and reduce it.

The most important part of this dish is good grits. I use stone ground white grits.

as a man who loves mixing random stuff, i can vouch for this

also, etoufee sauce goes with anything in my book. ive even used it as a base for my spaghetti and meatballs. i did shrimp/crawfish/pork meatballs.

oh man that shite was good

This is how I make my ettoufe. But with a real real real rich shrimp stock and other minor changes.

Ive always fried a few strips of bacon, removed, then added diced shallot, garlic, bells, and tomato for about 5 mins. After they begin to get transluscent I add a small swirl of dry white wine and cook the alcohol out for a few mins. I then add a few pats of butter and a few tbsp of flour to slowly start making a blonde/nut brown roux. After a few more mins I toss in the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 mins on low heat. Then comes in a swirl of heavy cream to add the richness to the light roux and i cook for another min then turn heat off. Sea salt, cracked pepper and cayenne mixed in at the end. Grits are always done with only whole milk and 2 sticks of butter. I like it served with a little bit of shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, red pepper flake and thinly sliced green onion tops to go along with garlic bread.

Étouffée over grits makes for a fine meal.
