How to Make Shrimp And Grits
- Bring 4 cups of vegetable broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until the grits are tender and creamy.
- While the grits are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add Andouille sausage and cook until browned. Remove sausage and set aside.
- Add bacon to the skillet, cook until crisp then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Stir in the heavy cream, milk, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in cooked Andouille sausage and bacon.
- Spoon the grits onto plates. Top with the shrimp and sauce.
- Garnish with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
