Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of quick-cooking grits and 1 tsp of salt. Stir well and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are thickened, stir in the 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until creamy and smooth. Keep warm.

Cooking the Shrimp and Sausage

  1. 3

    Sauté the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned.

  2. 4

    Add Shrimp and Seasonings

    Add the minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the sausage. Stir well and cook for another minute. Then, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Finish with Green Onions

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions, mixing everything well to combine.

Serving the Dish

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon the creamy grits onto plates or bowls, then top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Serve immediately while warm.
