Shrimp and Grits Base

Eggs

Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth and water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 20-25 minutes or until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Finish the Grits

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter and white cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Keep warm.

Cook the Shrimp and Sausage

  1. 3

    Sauté the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned and crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet with the sausage and season with black pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Fry the Eggs

  1. 5

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, crack the eggs and cook them until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 6

    Serve

    Spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits onto each plate. Top with the sausage and shrimp mixture, and finally place a fried egg on top of each serving.
