We LOVED this dish with the perfect amount of spiciness. I used quick grits and simmered them about one half an hour. I was impressed that they seemed so creamy without cream; in fact, the whole recipe calls for a smidgen of cream. For 2 persons I made 1/3 of sauce and andouille and one fourth of the grits. I served it with broccoli and fried green tomatoes on greens with remoulade sauce. What a wonderful meal! I have never made a bad Emeril recipe and can always count on his recipes as suiting our love for spicy food. His directions are great. He's the champ!

I loved it but it needs some work. Next time, I'll double the amount of vegetables. I used both clam juice and chicken stock which lead to a nice flavor profile. Also, I simmered the the dish much longer than the recipe calls for...almost an hour, which intensified the flavor and richness greatly! When almost ready to serve, I brought the mixture to a boil, and then added the shrimp. Immediately turn off the heat. I then let it rest for ten minutes and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! I used Gruyere in the grits (It's what I had on hand and we loved it! This simple, rich dish has made it's way into my rotation!!

First, let me say I loved it. But for the second time in a row the sauce was going to be thin unless I thickened before taking it off the heat.

Perhaps I don't know have enough experiences with rouxes, but in my novice thinking, I would saute the vegetables first. And in a second pan cook the roux. Then after adding the clam juice and cream, then I would add the roux very slowly while stirring the pan. Next, I am also going to double the roux ingredients.

What does everyone else think?

My father is from Louisiana, so I love spicy creole or cajun types of food. I found this recipe very flavorful, and it was surprisingly easy to make. If you let it simmer, the flavors condense, and it just becomes very rich! My only change was I used (GASP! instant grits because my stone ground grits were full of bugs. :(

This meal is to die for. We served it at a dinner party and my guests RAVED about it. Of course if you add that much cheese to anything it should be great! We weren't able to get stoned ground grits, but I bet that would make it even better. I give this meal 5 stars, hands down! It is definately an impressive meal to serve to your friends/loved ones, etc. The fat content being as high as it is (cream, cheese, etc, this meal should probably only be eaten seldomly.

The sausage and shrimp mixture is so tasty and simple to make. I made a pot of rice instead of the grits to make this meal even easier. My husband loves it, my mom loves it...try it.
