Grits

Shrimp & Sausage

Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the stone-ground grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thickened and tender.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Season

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and keep warm.

Cook Shrimp & Sausage

  1. 3

    Sauté the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned and heated through.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Shrimp

    Add the minced garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add the raw shrimp. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Finish with Scallions

    Stir in the chopped scallions, cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits onto each plate, and top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Enjoy your delicious shrimp and grits!
