Shrimp And Grits Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grits and salt, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in the butter, cheddar cheese, and Tabasco sauce until melted and well combined.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the sliced Portobello mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and diced tomatoes, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are softened.

4. 4

   Cook the Shrimp

   Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chopped scallions, cooked bacon, and season with black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Spoon the cheesy grits onto serving plates and top with the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Drizzle with additional Tabasco sauce if desired.
