Directions
1. Slice sausage into coins, about ΒΌ-inch thick.
MAKING
2. In a deep skillet, brown sliced sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove them from heat and drain on paper towel.
3. Place as many of the shrimp as desired in the skillet with the drippings from the sausage.
4. Sprinkle the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, to taste.
5. Add cooked sausage and crisp-tender mixed vegetables. Stir well and place over low to medium heat and cook until hot, stirring occasionally. If your shrimp is uncooked, cook until the shrimp turn pink and become opaque.
FINALIZING
6. In the center of a plate place a few spoonfuls of cooked mixed vegetables.
7. Pack cooked cheese grits into a small, greased container and empty it by turning it upside down on the center of the vegetables.
8. Now, spoon some browned sausage coins and some vegetables, forming a ring around the center mound of cheese grits.
9. Finally, arrange four shrimp in an attractive way at the top of the mound of grits. Repeat for more serving.
SERVING
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
TIPS
You may use raw shrimp and allow a little more cooking time. You may also remove the shells and tails before cooking.
