Shrimp and Grits

Shrimp (read: skrimp) and Grits

May 07, 2020 by Kevin Collins

Ingredients needed:

1lb Shrimp (medium)

7 oz of Andouille sausage (pork or chicken, up to you)

2 stalks of celery

1 Onion

1 Red bell pepper

1 Green pepper

Scallions

Grits

Plain greek yogurt

Chicken stock (or water)

Seasoning blend:

A generous pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (just a dash or three)

Instructions:

  • Clean, peel, and de-shell shrimp, then season with seasoning blend listed above, let marinate

  • Sauté diced onion, bell peppers, and celery in olive oil, salt and pepper until softened and onions are translucent

  • Stir in andouille sausage (sliced on a bias)

  • Lastly (MUST be last) add shrimp and cook until just pink (done)

  • I add in a little bit of stock and a few dashes of hot sauce at the end, but it’s not a must unless you need a bit more liquid or if you feel led :)

Instructions for Grits:

  • Follow instructions on the box, but substitute chicken stock for water

  • Season with salt and pepper

  • Once done, stir in 2 T of plain greek yogurt

  • Stir in 1/2 cup of cheese of your liking (I like Monterey Jack or Vermont Cheddar)

Enjoy!

Alright. So I know I already apologized to mangoes for disrespecting them for 31 years but I owe them another one. This mango pico almost made me cry. That’s the star. Mango pico. Do it. #tacos #tacotuesday #shrimp #sixeightchef #explore #insta
I played Teddy Pendergrass while cooking and I think that plus seasonings made these pork chops come out JUST right. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there! #pokechop #sundaydinner #sixeightchef #homemade #explore #dillandbaconfatroast
Seared some tuna! I like mine like I like my steak, medium. But as @iamtabithabrown says, that’s my business lol. Also jasmine rice is the MJ of rices. We can argue if we must. 🤗 Haply Juneteenth! #sixeightchef #jasminerice #roastedbroccoli

We got Olive Garden at the house. Quick shrimp and Italian sausage pasta with some wilted spinach. Of course I threw in some Parmesan! #sixeightchef #pasta #shrimp
Felt like seafood today. Maybe I’ll do a boil every Memorial Day! With invited guests post-COVID. With dranks. And music. #seafoodboil #happymemorialday #whowantsthiscorn #sixeightchef
