BBQ Shrimp and Grits Recipe

BBQ Shrimp and Grits Recipe

My BBQ Shrimp and Grits recipe is one you have to try. There are three different components of this dish – and you really need to cook all of them at the same time – but you can have this dish completed in about 45 minutes, so it’s not a long cook at all.

I started with 13-15 count Gulf Shrimp, some cajun andouille sausage and yellow stone-ground grits. Then fired up my Big Green Egg with some B&B Lump Charcoal to 350 degrees. You can use any grill here – but you just want a good fire holding it around 350 degrees.

First I grilled my cajun andouille sausage for about 20-25 minutes and sliced it into small medallions. Then while the sausage is grilling, I cooked 1 cup of grits to package directions using chicken broth (but you can use water). Once the grits are done, add some parmesan and cream cheese and kept them warm while I finished the rest of the BBQ Shrimp and Grits.

Then I started working on my BBQ Shrimp Sauce. I threw the sliced sausage in my cast iron skillet with a little bacon grease and placed it back right on the grate. I let the skillet get hot again and started adding the other ingredients. Once the sauce started coming together and the garlic was cooking and the butter was melting – I grilled the shrimp.

I liberally seasoned my shrimp with my Killer Hogs Hot Rub – but use any spicy seasoning here you like. Them I placed the shrimp directly on the grate for 1.5 minutes on each side. When the shrimp were almost done, I threw the grilled shrimp in the skillet and tossed them in that rich, buttery sauce to finish.

All that’s left then is to make the dish. I just place my cheese grits on a platter and top with the shrimp and cajun andouille sausage sauce. A little more lemon juice, some green onions and crumbled bacon really set it off on top.
