Cajun Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

2

Add Cheese

Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

3

Cook the Cajun Shrimp

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

4

Sauté Vegetables

Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.

5

Cook the Shrimp

Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.

6

Combine and Serve

Spoon the cheesy grits onto plates and top with the Cajun shrimp mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
