To my Cookies residing outside of The Boot state, please do not expect to see BBQ sauce in this recipe! BBQ Shrimp is a New Orleans original. I have no clue why it’s called BBQ shrimp. And, to be honest, I do NOT care! It’s sooo delicious! 

And, the sauce is super buttery! It’s meant to be sponged up by some crusty french bread. In fact, it makes an amazing po boy! But, still I was in the mood for grits…
                                         

FLAVORRRRR!!! This would be perfect for brunch. Go ahead and try it! Impress some folks! It’s too easy of a recipe not to try.

Love,

Well, actually it’s Garlic and Herb Shrimp and Polenta with a Pancetta and white wine reduction cream sauce. But, ya know, we’ll keep it simple. I believe God is gonna send me a husband through this dish. Watch! If you’re waiting on a ring or want something special from someone, make this for them! Thank me later. I know, I know, I’ve been on a shrimp kick lately. But, this recipe was requested and who doesn’t love shrimp? Watch me make this manna from heaven!

Shrimp, Peppers, And Sausage Over Grits

Seafood, The Lighter Side
Posted on

Ok, Cookies. I know I post a lot of calorie packed recipes, but I do cook a lot of lighter meals. All of the time! I just thought they were too boring to post lol Shrimp & Grits are comfort food heaven. I make many variations of it. This one is as light as I can make it! Lol the flavors of the peppers, onions, and sausage together are just unreal! If you’re not a fan of cheese (Bless ya heart) this one’s for you! I served them over grits this time. But it pairs well with quinoa and yellow rice too. Hope you try it and Enjoy!

Love,

  9. Himalayan Pink Salt or Garlic & Herb Mrs. Dash to taste
Instructions
  1. Cook grits in chicken broth instead of water (follow the package instructions for measurements) in a saucepan.
  2. Meanwhile, sauté the onions, sweet red, yellow, and orange peppers in olive oil in a cast iron skillet. (man I love that thing!)
  3. Add in the sausage and swirl them around the skillet for about 4 mins.
  4. Pour in the white wine

Notes
  1. Grits can be substituted with quinoa or rice. And this won't make you tipsy! The alcohol content of the white wine will cook out after 20-30 seconds of cooking.
