Time 1h25m

Yield 4 entrees or 8 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons canola oil
8 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
4 large shallots, medium dice
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Creole or Cajun spice mix
2 cups chicken stock or broth
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
Cheesy Grits, recipe follows
Green onions, chopped, for garnish
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking grits
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the andouille sausage, shallots, garlic and 1 teaspoon Creole spice mix and cook until the shallots become translucent and the sausage browns, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock, coffee, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil. Add the butter, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by one-third. Add the shrimp and remaining teaspoon Creole spice mix and simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Divide the cheesy grits among bowls and top with the shrimp and redeye gravy. Garnish with the green onions.
  • Combine the milk, butter, salt, pepper and 2 1/2 cups water in a 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Just before the mixture comes to a boil, slowly add the grits, stirring constantly to avoid clumps. Turn the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the Cheddar until completely melted. Adjust seasoning if necessary. If the grits are a little thick, add more water until the desired consistency is reached. Cover and keep warm.

MAGNOLIA'S SPICY SHRIMP, SAUSAGE, AND TASSO GRAVY OVER CREAMY WHITE GRITS



Magnolia's Spicy Shrimp, Sausage, and Tasso Gravy Over Creamy White Grits image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 cups chicken broth
4 1/2 cups coarse stone ground white grits
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and white pepper
1/2 pound spicy Italian sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds medium or large peeled and deveined shrimp, see Cook's Note
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Tasso gravy, recipe follows
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sliced tasso, cut into 1-inch strips
1/2 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Salt and white pepper

Steps:

  • To make the grits, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a heavy-bottomed stockpot or large saucepan. Slowly pour in grits, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir so that the grits so not settle to the bottom and scorch. In about 5 minutes, the grits will plump up and become a thick mass.
  • Continue to cook the grits for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently. The grits should have absorbed all of the stock and become soft.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently. The grits should have a thick consistency and be creamy, like oatmeal. Season, to taste, with salt and white pepper. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve. If the grits become to thick, add warm chicken broth or water to thin them down. To make the Shrimp and Sausage: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the Italian sausage on a baking sheet with raised sides. Place on the top rack of the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the sausage is firm and the juices run clear. Cool and cut into small bite size pieces.
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottomed frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and saute for 2 minutes to brown slightly. Add the shrimp and saute until they begin to turn pink, no longer than 1 minute.
  • Add 1 cup of chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Add the Tasso Gravy and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Bring up to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. The last 1/2 cup of the chicken stock is to be used to thin the gravy, if needed.
  • Divide the hot grits between 8 warm bowls. Spoon the shrimp, sausage mixture over the grits. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of parsley and serve immediately.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan over low heat. Add the tasso. Saute for 1 minute, browning slightly. Make a roux by adding the flour and stirring until well combined.
  • Continue to cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Stirring frequently until the roux develops a nutty aroma. Turn the heat up to medium and gradually add 2 cups of the chicken broth, stirring vigorously. Keep stirring constantly until the broth begins to thicken and is smooth. Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of broth, stirring constantly until the broth thickens into gravy. Reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes to cook out the starchy flavor. Add the parsley. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and white pepper.

Tips:

  • For a spicier gravy, use smoked chorizo or Andouille sausage.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk, but the gravy will be thinner.
  • To make the gravy ahead of time, cook the shrimp and sausage according to the recipe. Then let the gravy cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the gravy over medium heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the gravy over biscuits, grits, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Smoky shrimp and sausage gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The combination of smoky sausage, tender shrimp, and creamy gravy is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try.
