How to make it
Shrimp Sauce

- Peel and prep shrimp, keep cold.
- In a warm skillet, add cold oil. (hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick)
- Crumble in the sausage and cook until no longer pink.
- Add onions, peppers, celery and saute over low-med heat until the veggies are tender but not mushy.
- Add garlic, seasonings, and tomatoes..
- Reduce heat to very low.
- Simmer very gently while you make the grits.
- When grits are done and hot.
- Add shrimp to sauce and crank up the heat to a high simmer and cook until the shrimp curl and are done. About 5 minutes. See Photo
- Ladle and serve. See Photo
- Chopped green onion tops would be nice over top.
- Serve with your favorite hot sauce to add to taste.
Cheesy grits
- In a deep sauce pan, bring evaporated milk and chicken broth to a rolling boil.

This was a first for me. In Portugal we use grits for baking and thickening winter soups only. I had to make some changes in the saucy shrimp recipe, used chorizo instead of sausage because that is what I had. I had no idea what breakfast sausage is....more
