We watched the Ultimate Recipe Showdown on the FoodNetwork, and this dish had us drooling. The original recipe was created by Jason Hernandez and had the judges oooo-ing and ahhhh-ing. I've modified the recipe to suit us. Jason's is probably better, but here's my version:
Low Country Shrimp and Sausage with Grits
Grits:
4 c milk
1 t salt
1 t pepper
1 T butter
1 c grits
1 t red pepper flakes
2 t Tabasco sauce
2 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
Boil milk through butter. Add grits, pepper flakes, and hot sauce, and stir over low heat. Stir in cheese just before serving.
Shrimp and Sausage:
1 lb shrimp, peeled
2 T Cajun seasoning
1/4 c olive oil
1/2 lb andouille sausage, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 red pepper, chopped
1/4 c butter
2 t cayenne pepper
1/4 c dry white wine
1/4 c fresh herbs, chopped (parsley, thyme, and basil)
Fresh ground black pepper
Scallions, sliced for garnish
Sprinkle the shrimp with Cajun seasoning in a bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy pan and cook the sausage. Add the garlic and peppers and cook until soft. Add the butter to melt, and add the shrimp, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cayenne pepper through the black pepper and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the grits in shallow bowls with shrimp mixture over the top. Garnish with scallions.
