Directions:
Combine hot pepper sauce, wine, shallot, lemon juice and vinegar in heavy medium saucepan.
Boil over medium heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 cup cream. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Bring 1/2 cup cream, 5 cups water, milk and butter to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in grits.
Simmer until grits are very soft and thickened, stirring frequently, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, both bell peppers, onion and garlic; saute until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add shrimp, tomatoes, Cajun and Old Bay seasoning and saute until shrimp are opaque in center, about 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Bring hot pepper-cream sauce to simmer. Spoon grits onto 6 plates, dividing equally. Spoon shrimp mixture over grits. Drizzle hot pepper-cream sauce over and serve.

Personal Notes:
I often add more shrimp and sausage than the recipe asks for. The hot pepper sauce is hot, but absolutely makes this dish. One of our favorites!
