Shrimp and smoked turkey sausage or bacon is cooked with caramelized onions and garlic and then left to simmer in a savory broth flavored by smoked paprika and a hint of cayenne with a few other creole seasonings. This lovely concoction is then spooned over an ancient grain oatmeal that has combined with mashed sweet potato and smoked Gouda cheese to make a more nutritious version of grits. You won't miss the grits let alone know there are no grits after taking your first bite! <br />I first discovered the original idea for this recipe in a magazine and it was one of those recipes you see and can't stop thinking about. My first time making it I followed the recipe fairly closely subbing things out here and there but made sure not to stray to far. I wanted to see if the recipe was full-proof before I twisted it my own way and it was a success! The second time I made it I added a few ingredients and now the 3rd time I really through things for a loop!
