Shrimp 'n' Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage and Chorizo

   In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, chorizo, and smoked sausage. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Shrimp

   In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, then add shrimp. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

4. 4

   Make the Gravy

   Add some water to the skillet if needed and bring to a simmer. Stir in diced tomato and cook until soft. Return the sausage and chorizo to the skillet, mix well and let simmer for another 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Form Grit Cakes

   Once the grits are cooked, spread them in a shallow dish to cool. Once cooled, cut into cakes and pan-fry in a bit of olive oil until golden brown on both sides.

   Assemble the Dish

   Place grit cakes on a plate, top with the sausage and chorizo gravy, and finally, add the grilled shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onions.
