Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375F.

For biscuits, combine flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Work butter into biscuits with fingertips then stir in cream and combine, roll out dough on a floured surface to an inch thick and cut 3-inch round biscuits. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet and brush heavy cream. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.

While biscuits bake, melt butter in a saut pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers, celery, jalapeo and garlic as you chop them. Season with salt and pepper, and stir 3-4 minutes. Add stock and tomatoes to vegetables and stir to combine. When the tomatoes are hot, stir in cream and simmer gravy for 10 minutes to thicken a bit.

Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO. Add Andouille and render; add shrimp or chicken and cook until shrimp are pink or chicken pieces are cooked through.

Serve hot biscuits alongside sausage and shrimp or chicken topped with lots of gravy.
