Fish & Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Gradually stir in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

2. 2

   Add Cheese

   Once grits are cooked, stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Cook the Sausage

   In a skillet over medium heat, add the andouille sausage. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

4. 4

   Fry the Catfish

   In a shallow dish, season catfish fillets with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge in flour and shake off excess. In the same skillet, heat oil and fry catfish for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Prepare the Crawfish Sauce

   In the same skillet, add crawfish tails and a splash of milk. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more Cajun seasoning if desired.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   In a serving bowl, place a generous scoop of cheese grits, top with fried catfish, and spoon over the crawfish sauce. Garnish with crispy sausage.
