Steps:
- Place the milk, water, and salt into a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once the milk mixture comes to a boil, gradually add the cornmeal while continually whisking. Once all of the cornmeal has been incorporated, decrease the heat to low and cover. Remove lid and whisk frequently, every 3 to 4 minutes, to prevent grits from sticking or forming lumps; make sure to get into corners of pot when whisking. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until mixture is creamy.
- Remove from the heat, add the pepper and butter, and whisk to combine. Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the cheese a little at a time. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When butter melts into extra-virgin olive oil, add garlic, onions, celery, bell peppers, thyme, bay leaf then season with salt and pepper. Cook veggies 7 to 8 minutes until tender, add in the Worcestershire, 1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce (medium to spicy heat level) and the flour and cook 1 minute more then add in beer and cook it off, another 30 seconds or so. Whisk in 1 cup of stock then add tomatoes and okra, if using, and bring to a bubble. Add shrimp and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and firm then turn off heat. Remove thyme stems and bay leaf.
- Bring remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 2 cups stock, 1 cup milk and 2 teaspoons hot sauce, to a boil in a sauce pot. Stir in 1 cup quick cooking polenta. Stir constantly to mass the cornmeal. Once the mixture thickens to the consistency of whipped potatoes, season the "grits" with salt and divide among dinner plates.
- Serve generous ladles of shrimp and sauce on a bed of creamy "grits".

CHEESY CREOLE BREAKFAST SKILLET
Steps:
- For the Creole sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, Cajun seasoning, paprika, pickle, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and chives in a small bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until the skillet is done.
- For the skillet: Preheat the broiler. Toss the shrimp with the House Seasoning in a small bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and green and red peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, andouille and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are opaque and the sausage is heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and milk and slowly scramble the mixture with a silicone spatula, scraping up large curds from the bottom of the pan. As soon as the eggs are almost set, but still a tiny bit runny (about 2 minutes), remove from the heat and sprinkle with the Cheddar.
- Broil until the cheese melts, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove the skillet from the oven, drizzle with some Creole sauce, and sprinkle with the green onions.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Stir to melt the cheese, taste and season with salt, if needed. Serve warm.
CHEESY GRITS
As a comfy side dish, cheese grits have fantastic potential but sometimes need a flavor boost. For add-ins, try red pepper flakes, fresh rosemary or crushed garlic. -Paula Hughes, Birmingham, Alabama

CHEESY GRITS
Steps:
- For the blackened butter: Combine everything but the butter in a small bowl and mix until well blended.
- Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture to the softened butter and blend completely. (Reserve the remaining spice mixture for another use.)
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Place the spiced butter on the lower third of the plastic in a 2- to 3-inch-wide oblong shape. Gently wrap the shorter end of the plastic up and over the butter, using it to help shape and roll the butter into a log. Twist the ends of the plastic closed, like a hard-candy wrapper. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour. (Makes 1/2 cup.)
- For the cheesy grits: Combine the milk, 3/4 cup water, cream and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and slowly whisk in the grits, making sure there are no lumps. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and soft, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the Muenster and Parmesan and stir until blended.
- Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of the blackened butter.
