Ingredients

1 lb Shrimp

4 slices Bacon

1 cup Mushrooms

3 cloves Garlic

2 tbs Butter

3 stalks Scallions

1 cup Cheddar cheese

1 cup Grits

4 cups Chicken broth

to taste Celtic sea salt

to taste white, green, and black pepper

Method

Directions

Prepare the Grits

In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly add the grits while stirring continuously. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.

Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the bacon grease. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender.

Cook the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-5 minutes. Add butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

Finish the Grits

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Serve the cheesy grits topped with the shrimp mixture, crumbled bacon, and chopped scallions.
