Ingredients:
- 1 cup of grits

- 2 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:
- In a large pot, bring the water and milk to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook the grits, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes or until they are creamy and tender. Stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Keep warm.

- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Add the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pink and cooked through. Add the cooked andouille sausage back to the skillet and stir to combine.
- To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto a plate and top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
