Traditionally I use heavy cream and no chicken. I wanted to try something in the crock pot and thought the cream of shrimp would be good and it was pretty darn good. We did a recipe last week with cream of shrimp and it was really yummy. My boss Beth does a fish dish with cream of shrimp and it is great . I had some chicken so I added it to the pot too. I couldn’t think of another name so….. Shrimp and grits it was. It was very creamy and delicious.
½ stick of butter
½ cup of Green bell pepper
½ cup of Red bell pepper
¾ cup of celery
1 cup of onions
4 cloves of garlic
1 ½ pounds of chicken breast tenders
8 ounces of Andouille Sausage, cut up
2 cans of cream of shrimp soup
Slap ya Mama (Cajun Seasoning) to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound of Shrimp
2 heaping tablespoons of savory garlic cream cheese finishing sauce
Directions-
Turn crock pot on high
Add butter to crock pot
Dice onions, garlic, bell pepper and celery and add to pot.

Turn heat down to low and cook for a couple of hours (until chicken is done)

Crazy! Who knew Shrimp and Grits had Cream of Shrimp soup, sausage, and chicken in it! : ) I never buy bell pepper anymore. Poblano is where it is at! I use them for everything cajun now.
