Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables and Shrimp

    Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Then, add the shrimp, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Stir the remaining tablespoon of butter into the cooked grits until melted. Serve the shrimp and sausage mixture over the grits, topped with sliced scallions.
