Mojeaux’s Fish And Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt to taste. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

   Add Cheese

   Once the grits are cooked, stir in the Asiago cheese until melted and creamy. Keep warm.

   Prepare the Fish

   Season the catfish fillets with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Dredge each fillet in cornmeal, ensuring an even coating.

   Make the Cajun Cream Sauce

   In the same skillet, add heavy cream and additional Cajun seasoning if desired. Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
