Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the country sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add diced onion and chopped red bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the uncooked shrimp to the skillet, along with sherry, tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet and stir to combine. Serve the shrimp and vegetable mixture over the cheddar grits with a drizzle of red eye gravy on top.
