Shrimp and Sausage

Creamy Grits

Method

Shrimp and Sausage

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic and Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet with the shrimp. Stir in the chopped scallions, diced smoked tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Creamy Grits

  1. 4

    Boil the Liquid

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water and 1 cup of milk to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Grits

    Once boiling, slowly whisk in 1 cup of grits. Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter, and season with salt to taste. Mix until the cheese and butter are melted and well combined.
