1
Prepare the Grits
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick and creamy. Stir in butter and cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
2
Cook the Shrimp and Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, add sausage slices and cook until browned. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Combine and Serve
Once the shrimp is cooked, pour in the crawfish sauce and stir to combine. Serve the creamy grits in bowls topped with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Drizzle additional crawfish sauce over the top if desired.
