Crescent City Shrimp And Grits

• Andouille Cheese Grits
• 1/2 cup grits (NOT instant)
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 lb andouille sausage, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 cup boursin cheese spread
• fresh ground black pepper
• 2 -3 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
• Shrimp topping
• 1 lb peeled shrimp, tail on
• 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (your favorite brand)
• 1/2 white onion, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 green bell pepper, minced
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup white wine

1. For Grits:
2. Saute sausage in a medium saucepan just until hot, and some oil is released.
3. Add water, bring to a boil, add salt and grits. Cook until thick and soft.
4. Stir in cheese spread until melted through. Add parsley and adjust seasoning to taste.
5. For Shrimp:
6. Generously sprinkle shrimp with seafood seasoning. I use Chef Paul's, but use whatever kind you happen to like.
7. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet, add onion and pepper and cook gently until onion is translucent.
8. Add garlic and cook a few moments more, stirring constantly.
9. Add shrimp and wine and cook until nice and pink, but still tender.
10. To serve:
11. Ladle grits into shallow bowls, top with shrimp, and drizzle with the butter and wine left in the pan. You can top it with a bit more parsley or green onions if you like. Traditionally, we would serve this with a crisp green salad and mimosas for a special brunch.
