Main Ingredients

Sweet Heat Pickle Remoulade

Method

Grits Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of grits. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add Smoked Gouda

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of smoked gouda cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Shrimp and Sausage Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sausage and Vegetables

    Slice 8 ounces of andouille sausage, 1 medium red bell pepper, and 1 medium yellow onion into small pieces.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Ingredients

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned (about 5 minutes). Then, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are tender (about 5-7 minutes).

  3. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque (about 3-4 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Sweet Heat Pickle Remoulade Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Remoulade

    In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish
