Directions for Shrimp & Grits
- 1
Prepare the Grits
In a saucepan, bring water or chicken broth to a boil. Add salt and then slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy.

Add Cheese to Grits
Once the grits are cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.

Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.

Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, sofrito, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.
