Creamy, cheesy & spicy. Hubby wanted spicy grits and he got them. Loved them too! You can tone down the heat if you prefer. I thought these were just right.

In a medium sized saucepan, I brought 4 1/2 cups salted water to a boil. Whisk in the grits and turn heat to simmer. Stirring occasionally. Continue cooking the grits until desired thickness.

This tasty dish is a great alternative to potatoes or mac and cheese. It is very easy to make and easily doubles. See note below for another variation with chaddar cheese. Give it a try- grits are not just for breakfast anymore! Adapted from Southern Living.

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

Bring chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups milk just to a boil in a medium saucepan with a lid. Slowly stir in grits and 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 7 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Add Parmesan cheese and pepper, stirring until cheese is melted.
Cheddar Cheese Grits: Cook grits as directed, reducing salt to 1/4 teaspoons and substituting 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese for Parmesan cheese.
Note: I always use 2 bouillon cubes and 2 Celsius of water for the canned chicken broth.

SPICY SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE OVER GRITS

Spicy Shrimp and Andouille Sausage over Grits image

This is a great meal that screams New Orleans! The shrimp and sausage combo can't be beat and the spiciness is kept in check by the creamy grits.

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock, plus more if needed
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup grits
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound smoked Andouille sausage, sliced 1/4-inch thick on an angle
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1/2 Spanish onion, small dice
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

For the grits: Bring 2 cups of the chicken stock, the heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of the butter to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat and simmer until the grits have thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. Once the grits are thick and creamy, adjust the consistency with stock, if necessary, and season with salt and pepper.
For the shrimp and sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sausage and brown, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving all of the fat in the pan. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the pan and saute until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved sausage and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock to the skillet and reduce a bit to intensify those flavors. Stir in the remaining tablespoon butter at the end, garnish with parsley, and add the lemon juice.
Serve the sausage, peppers and shrimp over the grits.

SPICY CHEESE GRITS

Spicy Cheese Grits image

If you're not into spicy foods, you might be surprised by these. The cheese tones down spiciness of the jalepeno. I'm a spicyhot wimp, and I love me some cheesy grits! From LJ entry on Thursday, April 4th, 2002. Easy and delicious!

Categories Grains

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cups cooked grits
2 -3 tablespoons minced jalapenos, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder, to taste
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic (don't overdo it)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup cubed monterey jack pepper cheese (optional)

Steps:

Prepare the grits (instant or regular) as normal, according to packaging, to make four servings.
When grits are almost to their finished texture, mix in the rest of the listed ingredients. Stir well and heat for another few minutes until everything is well incorporated.
You can either eat them immediately (which we usually do), or you can spread it about an inch thick it into a lightly pan-sprayed or buttered cooking pan and refrigerate it (and/or any leftovers) and cut it into squares or wedges for browning and re-heating in a sauté pan later. Either way, they're delicious.
Note: Whether or not I add the pepperjack cheese depends on what texture I'm feeling like eating. It's smoother without the cheese, a little gloppier (but cheesier!) with the pepperjack. If I'm using jalepenos from the jar, I pour in some of the juice from those, too.
Makes 4 servings.

SPICY GRITS

Spicy Grits image

In the Deep South we tend to incorporate grits into so many wonderful dishes. This base can be used to back up scrambled or poached eggs for breakfast or sautéed greens and shrimp for lunch or dinner. I will often chill the leftovers and make grits cakes for another meal. The possibilities are as endless as the Bubba Gump shrimp dishes!
