Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the stone-ground grits and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in heavy cream, butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced andouille sausage. Cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Creole Sauce

    In the same skillet, add bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Season the shrimp with blackening seasoning. In another skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto a plate, top with the sausage, then the shrimp, and drizzle with the creole sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions.
