Categories     Grits

Total Time 50 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 ¼ cups 2% low-fat milk
2 cups water
2 teaspoons chicken soup base (paste)
½ teaspoon smoked salt
1 cup regular grits, uncooked
½ pound andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ cup diced green bell pepper
¾ cup diced yellow onion
¾ cup diced celery
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
1 cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound fresh large shrimp, shelled and deveined
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Bring milk, water, chicken soup base, and smoked salt to a boil in a saucepan; slowly whisk in grits, reduce heat to low, and cover pan. Simmer until grits are tender and thick, about 20 minutes. Keep grits warm.
  • Brown andouille sausage slices with vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; remove sausage and set aside.
  • Cook and stir green bell pepper, yellow onion, celery, and jalapeno pepper in the same skillet until onion is tender and translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and Cajun seasoning; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir flour into the vegetables until well coated; gradually stir in fire-roasted tomatoes and white wine, cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir bay leaf into the sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Mix cooked andouille sausage and shrimp into the sauce and cook, stirring often, until sausage is hot and shrimp are pink and no longer translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Just before serving, stir Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses into grits until melted.
  • To serve, spoon grits onto a serving plate and top with shrimp, sausage slices, and sauce. Garnish with chopped chives.

CHEESY CAJUN SHRIMP AND GRITS RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT
I was born and raised in the South. A few years ago I moved to Pennsylvania, where good Southern comfort food was hard to find. So I created these creamy, smoky Cajun shrimp and grits to remind me of home. —Kailey Thompson, Palm Bay, Florida

CAJUN SHRIMP BOIL RECIPE - NYT COOKING
In New Orleans, a seafood boil, the Southern tradition of gathering around a newspaper-lined table to eat large amounts of boiled shellfish with your bare hands, is all about salt and spice. In the words of Jared Austin, a Mississippi riverboat pilot and seafood-boil master, ‘‘Nothing about any of this is subtle — people standing around the pot should sneeze and cough.’’ The key to a successful shrimp boil is layering ingredients into the pot so that everything is done cooking at once: First add the potatoes and sausage, then the shrimp, then the frozen corn to bring the temperature down and prevent overcooking. Let it all soak to absorb the salt and spice, then dump it out onto the table and eat with copious amounts of rémoulade. While this recipe can easily be halved, it’s a simple — and extraordinarily fun — way to feed a crowd. Just remember to heed Austin’s advice: ‘‘Don’t be afraid of cayenne. Don’t be afraid to let your nose run.’’

  • Add potatoes and sausage to the pot, and let the water return to a boil. Turn off heat, and allow to soak for 10 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Bring the water to a boil, and add shrimp. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn off heat, add corn and allow to soak for 7 minutes. Drain, and serve immediately with rémoulade (preferably on a newspaper-lined table).
