1
Chop your onion.
-
2
Cut your green pepper and sausage into thin slices.
-
3
Saute in a frying pan with a small amount of heated oil.
-
4
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
5
While you're sauteing the first three ingredients peel and devein your shrimp.
-
6
Once the vegetables soften and the sausage shows the first signs of browning add the shrimp.
-
7
Cook together until the shrimp just begin to pink. This can happen quickly depending on the size of your shrimp.
-
8
Add enough chicken broth to allow the mixture to float. Not too much.
-
9
I prefer a light broth so I only use chicken broth. If you prefer more of a creamy or gravy sauce add cream to the mixture.
-
10
Let simmer and thicken for a few minutes, enough time to allow the shrimp to cook throughout
-

Depending on the type of grits you are using allow enough time to prepare so that the grits will finish the same time as your shrimp mixture. I often will just use instant grits that only take 5 minutes to prepare. Add cubes of cheese to taste to give your grits that extra boost of flavor. A few suggestions are cheddar cheese, pepper jack, or gouda.

Serve the shrimp mixture over a bed of grits.
