Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly whisk in the stone-ground white corn grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and the sharp cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the minced garlic and Old Bay seasoning to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the tiger prawns. Cook until the prawns are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Serve

    To serve, spoon the cheesy grits into bowls and top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
