Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the yellow grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon and Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, add the linguica sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and chopped green onions.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto a plate, top with the shrimp mixture, and garnish with crumbled bacon and additional green onions. Enjoy!
