Shrimp & Grits Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until thickened. Stir in the cheddar cheese and butter until melted and creamy.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

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

3. 3

   Make the Tomato Bacon Gravy

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer. Add the cooked bacon back into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Cook the Shrimp

   Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve

   Spoon the cheesy grits onto plates, top with the shrimp and tomato bacon gravy, and garnish with chopped green onions.
