How To Make shrimp and grits, new orleans style

  • Step 1
    Coat the sautee pan with olive oil and put butter in to melt. Add onions, garlic and pepper to taste. I never use salt, unless kosher or sea, your preference. In the mean while, cook grits according to directions and when they are cooked add the Gouda Cheese, blend until melted completely. (If you don't like Gouda use a Cheddar). Cover to keep hot. Now that you onions and garlic are cooked until lucid on medium low fire add you shrimp cook until the turn pink about 5-7 minutes. To serve: put grits in a shallow bowl(like a pasta bowl) and spoon your shrimp mixture on top of the grits. Don't forget some of the sauce.
