Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  2. 2

    Add the Cream and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, butter, and shredded Gouda cheese until creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage and Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and diced roasted jalapeños, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir well to combine with sausage and jalapeños. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy gouda grits onto plates and top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
