Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Cheeses and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the cheddar, smoked gouda, and butter until melted and well combined. Set aside and keep warm.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet, crumble, and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with black pepper and paprika. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  4. 6

    Add Green Chile Salsa

    Stir in the green chile salsa and sliced green onions. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Garnish

    Spoon the creamy grits onto plates, top with the shrimp mixture, and sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
