Shrimp and Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    Cook the cheese grits according to package instructions and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Shrimp and Crawfish

    Add the shrimp and crawfish to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Create the Sauce

    Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the sausage to the skillet and mix everything together.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Spoon the cheese grits onto plates and top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
