How to Make Shrimp And Grits

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add bacon to the skillet, cook until crisp then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, milk, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir in cooked Andouille sausage and bacon.
  8. Spoon the grits onto plates. Top with the shrimp and sauce.
  9. Garnish with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
