Charley I’ve been an Executive Chef for many years. 48 years in the food business doing various cuisines domestic and international, you did an exceptional job cooking that, and representing New Orleans. 🍺👨🏽‍🍳

Seven years later, and this recipe still slaps. Cheers from Lafayette, cajun country.

Hey Charlie! Really appreciate the fact that you never put "the best" in your video titles or talk that way in general. The boastful/arrogant attitude is why I can't stand a lot of these YT channels. Can't wait for your next video!

That SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF did I just watch..... The BEST DARN Soulful I have ever seen... Food network holla at him...

Charlie, I wanted to say that you come across as one of the most genuinely nicest guys on KZfaq.

Professional chef for thirty years. I prepare this recipe for our charter fishing guests for breakfast. They have gone nuts for this dish!

the minute he threw the heads n shells in i knew this was authentic new orleans

Are you kidding me right now..... I think not Charlie you are the REAL DEAL !!!! Somebody give him a TV show I am a new subscriber I love your New Orleans recipes and personality .....

For some reason that bang on the table cracks me up lol. I know it taste so good yum🙂

I saw Mr. Charlie, I saw shrimp and grits, I punched the thumbs up immediately. This dude is an American institution.

I love your accent and soft southern tone. I'm moving to NOLA

This is hw a cookin video should be. Clear instructions and a SPOTLESS kitchen!

I should’ve known to come here first for a Shrimp & Grits recipe. 😩 This settles it…your channel is my first stop for everything moving forward periodt! Looks easy and delicious! Thanks Charlie you never disappoint. 🙏🏾💕

The shrimp heads/shells stock is the key! Thanks bro!

I KNEW you were a Louisianian the moment you said "2 teaspoons of Zatarin's" and you shook the seasoning over the pot! Only a Yankee would have used measuring spoons! LOL! You cook like ya mama taught ya, cher! Gonna try this dish in the next day or two. Just bought some shrimp and have all the ingredients! Much Love from Baton Rouge!

Charlie baby please don't bust your glass table. lol This looks amazing!

Hey Charlie !!! I'm from New Orleans also. You represented us very well my friend !!!! Your shrimp and grits dish turned out amazing !!!! But when you hit that glass table...SMH...I was laughing so hard ...my neighbors thought I was crazy !!! OMG...that was so funny ...nevertheless you did an amazing job !!!!!!!!! Very well done !!!!!!

In the past, whenever I heard of "Shrimp and Grits," my ignorant reaction was "Huh? Really??" Not until I watched your video did I get totally excited about it. Your clear, concise instructions, and the highly visible video are THE best, Charlie! The absolute BEST. Thanks so much for making such wonderful dishes possible for us. And irresistible!

Your the goto guy for cajun/creole cooking charlie.......

So good Charlie, keep on cooking 🥘

This recipe has to be the best I've seen! I definitely will be cooking this soon....yum!

This gonna be me for lunch today. It looks so delicious Charlie. Thanks for sharing. God bless all watchin 6yrs later in 2023 🙏💚🌈

What a bright light in our dim world!

This was a great presentation. I can taste that food thru my monitor. Chef Charlie, you have an amazing personality and wonderful smile.

I had this at a restaurant recently and couldn't figure out what the sauce was, it was so complex and flavorful. I found your recipe and just made this last night for friends and it was even better! I made the stock the night before to save time. This evening I added a splash of Marsala wine to the stock and cooked couscous in it and layered salmon on top. So good! Thank you!

This show is pure heaven to watch! Thank you, Charlie Andrews.

Imma try this just off the strength of that table bang🔥🔥🔥

I just made this for my family, I loved it and they were so impressed with me. Absolutely delicious. Thank you!!!

Awesome recipe! I really like how you explain everything in detail. Shrimp stock?!?! Who knew??!! I've been cooking for most of my life and never knew to let the grits cool before adding the cheese. Great video!

I personally love thick grits. My southern great grandma raised me to not make thin grits but rich thick buttery grits. Loved the shrimp recipe tho👍🏽

Hands down best shrimp and grits recipe out there!!! I can't get enough!!!. I gotta go to new Orleans and it's jazz festival!!! Crawfish up the waszooooo

Lawd ha' mercy that looks SO good! I always wait for the bang on the table. That's the cutest thing ever! Thank you for sharing these amazing recipes.

looks amazing. this is the same process of how i was taught to cook shrimp and grits at home, growing up in south carolina. most of the recipes you see online rely on cheese and cream instead of shrimp stock and roux.

OMG... Charlie Charlie Charlie.... one word: FABULOUS!!!!

Done the right way! Thank you Mr. Charlie, you are awesome!

Lmaooo im cracking up at you hitting that table, that shrimp & grits look BOMB!

I like how specific he is. I’ve watched other cooking videos and you have to guess at a lot of stuff. He also seems like a genuinely nice guy. Keep up the good work.

Excellent, excellent, I love it. I was born in New Orleans in March 1945! Love it. Charlie keep on cooking!

I cannot WAIT to make this! Thank you for the detailed walk through.

I love this and wish I were there dear man! I could listen to you all day!! Such a kind voice. God bless you Charlie!🙏🏼

I cooked this for dinner tonight.. OMG it was sooooo good!! My family LOVED it.. Thank you for your videos!!! ☺

Hi Charlie! I just made this tonight and it was amazing!!! Husband said it was the best he’s ever had! 🤩 Thank you for your recipes, clear instructions, and great attitude.

Go New Orleans, you represent!! I really appreciate the way you give the recipes and instructions. So easy to follow that I'll be making this one very soon! (I can just smell it now!)

I've made shrimp and grits before and it was good, but using your recipe for the shrimp stock was amazing!!!! I normally use chicken broth, but never again. Thanks!

Very good instructions thank you

Thank you Charlie! Your cooking is awesome.

This is my first time watching Chef Charlie and I like his style. His instructions are very through, he explains his methods so that anyone experienced or inexperienced can follow his recipes. I will be adding him to my list of favorite Chefs :-)))

& You Need To Stop Teasing Us & Go Ahead & Open A Restaurant So We Can Bang Our Fist On A Table Too¿¿

That kitchen is clean to the gods

Charlie has been hitting that table for years now....whew that looks good.

You ROCK, Charlie!!! Thank you for the recipe!!

Mr. Andrews, this recipe is so on point!! Thank you for posting such a well paced, well instructed tutorial. I teach, and I pride myself of concise, meaningful instructions. I must say, you are a wonderful teacher. People can know a great deal of info, but fail to transfer that knowledge to others in ways that are clear, interesting, and engaging. I came across your video about a month ago and had been meaning to get to it, but put it off week after week until this weekend. I did grab the last few ingredients including the seasonings and the andouille sausage last weekend but still hesitated, lol. Ironically, I had never heard of that sausage until your video, and the day after I watched it, I heard of it again! I was showing my kids episodes of Justin Wilson's show on KZfaq, and he mentioned it in an episode when making gumbo, I believe. I asked a young employee in the meat department about it, and together we located it-neither one of us had ever paid attention to it before that day, but now we know where it is:-). Today is my daughter's birthday and together, we followed your awesome recipe and it turned out great. The only seasoning missing was the Poultry, but it was magnificent still. We felt accomplished and hopefully would make you proud :-).

Hey, my friend. You did awesome as always.

Now that’s how you do a tutorial!!! great job I can’t wait to make it for my daughters brunch Saturday❤❤❤

That looks absolutely delicious! I'm on my way to the kitchen now! Thank you, Charlie!

Hey Charlie, New Orleans makes the best Shrimps & Grits, HANDS DOWN, no debating, Looks yummy, tfs!!!

You banging on the table sold that you told me how good it is!

Thank you Charlie! Great video, as always.

I can’t wait to try this recipe, this video was done so well. My wife and I stayed in New Orleans last January and we fell in love with it. The people really do make the city what it is. Thank you for sharing this.

I just became a subscriber to your channel! I'm like, Oh! Oh! OH!!! OMG!! Love to see your passion for Louisiana food. I was cracking up when you banged the table and made the camera shake! Ain't nothing but pure love. All the best to you.

He is so freaking adorable 😍. Great recipe, making this tonight for my sister for dinner . I don't eat shrimp anymore, but still eating the gravy with grits and baked salmon 😌

I made this meal last week and this was the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever cooked!! Thanks, Charlie!! 💚💛💜

wow - this is really great cooking - building flavors on top of flavors as you cook....thank you for sharing
