Shrimp & Smoked Cheddar Grits w/ Andouille Sausage Reduction Recipe

Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly stir in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until thickened.

Add Cheese and Seasoning

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the smoked cheddar cheese, butter, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Keep warm.

Cook the Andouille Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced andouille sausage. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Combine and Serve

To serve, spoon the creamy grits into bowls. Top with shrimp, andouille sausage, and a sprinkle of green onions.
