Shrimp and Grits With Kielbasa Recipes

Ingredients

• 2 cups dry polenta
• 5 cups water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 kielbasa sausage, chopped
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
• 1 pound uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed

Directions

1. Bring polenta, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to low and simmer until polenta is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook kielbasa sausage until browned, 5 to 8 minutes; stir in garlic, rosemary, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in shrimp and stir gently until shrimp are pink and no longer translucent inside, about 5 minutes.
3. Transfer shrimp mixture and any pan juices to a large serving bowl and stir grits into the mixture. Stir Cheddar cheese into the hot mixture until melted.
