Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in butter until melted and smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet, pour in the chicken broth, and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve the shrimp and sausage mixture over the creamy grits and garnish with sliced green onions.
