Step 1

Peel your shrimp and place shell of shrimp into a small pot with chicken broth. This will create a more shrimp like broth for you to use for the sauce. Make sure you shrimp is nicely cleaned, and deveined. Boil on a medium high.

Step 2

Prep all of the veggies, dice the bell peppers, slice your andouille sausages, and cook your bacon.

Step 3

Season your shrimp, generously, and begin to boil your chicken broth for the grits.

Step 4

Cook grits according to package/serving size. I prefer the 5 minute grits, do what you prefer. Be sure to add in grits just a little bit at a time, whisking while you are adding.

Step 5

Once grits are mostly finished, add in your heavy whipping cream, cheese, and 2 TBSP of butter. Season with salt and pepper. Be sure to keep it on a medium to low heat.

Step 6

In a pan on medium high heat, add in olive oil. Once that has heated add in your bell peppers, onion, and cook them until aromatic.

Step 7

After 2-3 minutes add in your andouille sausage, and cook until they are brown or done to your liking. Go ahead and add in shrimp, cook on each side for 2.5 minutes. Be sure your shrimp is laying indivually and not clumped together.

Step 8

Add in your 1/2 cup of the shrimp stock that you made, and your heavy whipping cream.

Step 9

Allow to cook on a medium heat for about 2 minutes, add in some paprika for color.

Step 10

Serve shrimp and sauce on top of your creamy grits, garnish with bacon bits and parsley. Enjoy!
