Still trying to get the shrimp and grits recipe from Cafe 4, dangit.

-- before anyone gets all hoity-toity at me, I've never tried to imitate someone else's dish before, and I have no idea where to start. All I have is a menu description and some not terribly useful pics online.

Salt, pepper, butter.

I didn't see shrimp and grits anywhere.

I've only had shrimp & grits like 3 times in my entire life. Mostly because every time I've been to a restaurant that's had it on the menu there's always something else that catches my eye like steak, a nice fish filet, or ribs. I've never attempted to cook the dish myself.

Horee chit, mine eyes.

It’s the Cajun cream sauce I’m uncertain about. It’s not a standard Tasso sauce, even though they’re calling it “Low Country”.

You've never cooked grits? Your mom never cooked them?

I meant to quote you, not Souce.

When I cook grits, I only add salt, pepper, and butter.

I’m not having a good day here...

I know what you meant.

I'm not saying it isn't, but from here that doesn't look like a cream sauce. It looks like an oily broth.

I don't remember it looking like this, frankly. This is a 2012 photo I dug up online.

If I'm eating grits on their own I usually prefer them a little sweet. So, butter and sugar usually.

Speaking of sausage....who else enjoys extra sage in their breakfast sausage? Sage is a very underrated herb, IMO.

I like sage in sausage. Hate maple flavor in sausage.
