Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the butter and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning, cooking until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cheesy grits, top with crumbled sausage and sautéed shrimp. Garnish with sliced green onions and black pepper to taste.
