Start grits by boiling water and adding salt.
2

Once boiling add grits slowly and stir while adding in grits.

Immediately turn down to low (between 1-2).

Now cover with a lid and check every 5-10 minutes. This is when you can start your gumbo as seen below.

Now when you stir grits start to add in milk as they get thick.
6

Now time to start the gumbo. First melt the butter on low-med heat in a large pot
7

Once the mixture starts to brown (10 min) add in onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook until translucent.
8

Now slowly stir in clam juice and chicken broth.

Add in the rest of the spices, cooked shrimp, and cooked smoked sausage. Cover and let it simmer for 30 min. Check and stir ever 10 min.

In the mean time check on grits and stir in the rest of the milk and add pepper & salt in to taste. Add in 3/4-1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese and let it melt.
