Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly stir in the grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Shrimp

    Add minced garlic and Cajun seasoning to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute. Then, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Season with black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy grits into bowls and top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions.
