Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grits and salt, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are creamy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms to the bacon drippings and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet with mushrooms and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in the creole sauce and stir well. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the grits are cooked, serve them in bowls. Top with the shrimp and mushroom mixture. Crumble the cooked bacon on top, and garnish with chopped green onions. Season with black pepper to taste.
