Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup chicken stock unsalted
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp salt divided
- 1 cup yellow corn grits (I use Bob's Red Mill)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter divided
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese extra sharp
- 1 1/4 lbs Shrimp large 16-20 count, peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup andouille sausage chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup hot sauce Frank's Red Hot brand
- 1/4 cup chicken stock unsalted
- 1/4 cup green onion sliced, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Add water, chicken stock, cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Slowly add grits while whisking. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer while stirring occasionally until creamy and cooked, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon butter and cheese. Stir until cheese and butter are melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When the grits are a few minutes away from being done. Generously season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Set aside for a minute.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet to a medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add sausage. Sauté sausage until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Keep oil in pan and remove sausage with a slotted spoon.
- Keep the heat on medium and add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. Add shrimp. Cook until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp, set aside. Add garlic, sauté 1-2 minutes or until softtned. Add chicken stock, lemon juice and hot sauce to pan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Once the sauce has reduced a bit, whisk remaining butter in one tablespoon at a time. Add green onion, reserved sausage, and shrimp. Toss and remove from heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon grits into four bowls. Evenly divide the shrimp between the bowls and spoon sauce and sausage on top. Garnish with more green onion.
