  5. Melt butter and add onion mixture and sausage. Cook until sausage is done.
  6. Add shrimp, cook until shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes.

  9. Stir in sherry and, parsley, Parmesan cheese.
  10. Sprinkle in flour while whisking sauce until a thickened. ( Not too thick though, the grits will absorb some).
