 4 oz andouille sausage, diced
 2 oz shallots, sliced
 ½ cup dry white wine
 3 cups heavy cream

1

Toss the shrimp with the olive oil and Cajun seasoning to thoroughly coat.

2

Place shrimp on a pre-heated char-grill and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Place the milk, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

6

Turn heat to low and slowly whisk in the grits.

7

Cook the grits over low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the grits are tender.

8

Remove from the heat and stir in the Boursin cheese until melted and the mixture is smooth.

ANDOUILLE CREAM

Heat the andouille sausage in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to render some of the fat.

11

Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce until almost dry.
