Grits

Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the smoked gouda cheese and butter until melted and creamy. Set aside.

Cooking the Shrimp and Sauce

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  2. 4

    Sauté Andouille and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed, then add the sliced andouille sausage. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Shrimp and Tomato

    Add the shrimp and diced tomato to the skillet. Season with paprika and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Stir in the crispy bacon and chopped fried prosciutto. Mix well and remove from heat. Serve the shrimp mixture over the prepared gouda grits and garnish with chopped green onions.
