Shrimp and Sausage

Cheesy Grits

Method

Shrimp and Sausage

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the sliced andouille sausage. Cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the bacon.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the shrimp, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked sausage and bacon to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in chopped green onions just before serving.

Cheesy Grits

  1. 5

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly stir in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are thickened, stir in the milk, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to cook for an additional 5–10 minutes, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy. Season with salt to taste.
