Instructions

In a medium pot, stir together the milk and heavy cream over medium-high heat.
Bring to a boil.
Slowly whisk the grits into the pot. When mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Continue whisking the grits frequently for 10-15 minutes until mixture thickened.
Remove the grits from the heat. Add the butter and cheddar cheese, and whisk to incorporate. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
Add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until onions and peppers have softened.
Add the sausage. Cook until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Slowly add the chicken stock. Stir until well-incorporated.
Add the shrimp. Cook until pink in color, about 3 minutes.
Add the cayenne, remaining teaspoon salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper. Add additional cayenne pepper, if desired.
Remove from the heat and spoon the sausage and shrimp mixture over the grits.
Sprinkle scallions on top, if desired.
Enjoy!
