Method

Preparing Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the grits are thickened and tender.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 tbsp of butter. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy. Set aside and keep warm.

Cooking Shrimp & Sausage

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced spicy sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp, 1 tsp of paprika, 1 tsp of cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
