About Crab and grits

Crab and Grits is a savory Southern classic that blends the rich, buttery flavors of fresh crab with the comforting creaminess of stone-ground grits. Originating from Lowcountry cuisine, this dish often features crab meat sautéed with garlic, onions, and spices, served atop a bed of grits cooked with milk or broth for a luxurious texture. Some recipes include cheese, herbs, or a splash of cream to enhance its depth. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of lean protein from the crab and complex carbohydrates from the grits. Crab is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and minerals like zinc and selenium. However, creamy or cheesy variations may contain higher amounts of saturated fat and calories. Opting for less butter or lighter dairy options can make this indulgent dish a more balanced choice while maintaining its authentic, comforting flavor.
