Shrimp and Sausage

Creamy Grits

Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt, then gradually stir in the Carolina grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, butter, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until creamy and smooth. Keep warm.

Cooking the Shrimp and Sausage

  1. 3

    Sauté the Sausage and Onions

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and diced Vidalia onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent and the sausage is browned.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Stir in minced garlic and cajun seasoning; cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the jumbo shrimp to the skillet along with chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 6
