Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of Dayspring Farms grits and 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the grits are thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, brown the Connecuh sausage over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the French Farms sweet peppers and sweet corn. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the wild GA shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, and stir in the New Orleans BBQ butter. Mix well until everything is combined and heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    To serve, spoon the creamy grits into a bowl, top with the shrimp and sausage mixture, and garnish with fried shallots and sliced scallions.
