Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and slowly stir in the grits. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in a splash of olive oil or butter for extra flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage and Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage slices and cook until browned. Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and diced tomato, and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish with Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through. Season with black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy shrimp mixture over a serving of grits. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately.
