Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced sausage. Cook until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, add a bit of oil if needed, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet and stir to combine.
Combine and Serve
Serve the creamy grits in bowls topped with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions and additional seasoning if desired.
