Steps:
- Bring the milk and chicken broth to a boil. Slowly add in grits while whisking continuously. Over medium heat, cook grits for about 4 to 5 minutes until they thicken up.
- Take off of the heat and add in salt, pepper, 2 tbsp butter and cheese. Whisk until smooth and lump free. Turn the heat to low until you are ready to serve. (Note: grits will thicken up the longer they cook. If you have them on low heat for a while you may need to add additional butter or milk to thin out the grits).
- Meanwhile add bacon to a large skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. When the bacon is cool crumble or chop it into smaller bite size pieces. Do not drain the bacon grease!
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same pan the bacon was cooked in. Heat over medium high heat and add in shrimp. Saute until fully cooked and no longer opaque, 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate. Add in the wine and scrape the brown bites off the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the lemon juice and add the shrimp and crumbled bacon back to the pan.
- To serve place grits in individual bowls and top with the shrimp mixture. Drizzle each bowl with extra sauce from the bottom of the pan. Serve with green onions and hot sauce, if desired.

QUICK CREAMY SHRIMP AND GRITS
I love shrimp and grits, and especially when they have a yummy, creamy sauce. So I combined and adapted several recipes to make this one. I adore this quick version, especially the bacon-roasted corn in the grits - YUM. It's definitely NOT low-fat, but few of the tastiest things in life are, so indulge! And maybe have a salad the next day.....

Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large skillet, then crumble and set aside. Turn the heat to medium-high and add corn to the skillet. Cook and stir until the kernels begin to toast and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Drain skillet of all but one tablespoon of bacon fat, and set aside to use for shrimp.
- Add chicken stock, milk and 1 cup of the heavy cream to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and add the garlic salt and toasted corn kernels. Slowly whisk in grits, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, whisking often to keep grits from sticking to the pan. When the grits are cooked and thickened, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Whisk well to completely incorporate. These are mashed potato consistency - if you like looser grits, whisk in more chicken stock to loosen to how you like them. Set aside, covered to keep warm, while you prepare the shrimp.
- Heat skillet with bacon fat and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic, mushrooms and 2/3 of the sliced green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add shrimp, cajun seasoning and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and sear the shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes on each side until almost cooked through -- about 3 minutes total. Add lemon juice, Chipotle tabasco and black pepper and stir well to get any residue off of the bottom of the pot, then stir in the reserved bacon and reserved 1/2 cup heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken.
- To serve, spoon some of the cheesy corn grits into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle with some of the reserved cheese and stir in so that there are bits of cheese throughout. Top with a generous serving of the sauce and shrimp, and sprinkle with reserved chopped green onion. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cream, water, and hot stock; bring to a gentle boil. Add butter, salt, and pepper. Slowly add grits, stirring constantly (so that the grits do not settle to the bottom and scorch), until all are added; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are tender.
- Sprinkle shrimp with lemon juice, salt, and pepper; set aside. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon until brown but not crisp. Remove from heat and pat dry with paper towels; set aside. Coarsely chop bacon when cool. Reserve bacon grease in frying pan. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 10 minutes until the onion is transparent. Add shrimp mixture and bacon; sauté 5 to 7 minutes or until shrimp are opaque in center. Remove from heat.
- To serve, spoon hot grits onto individual serving plates and top with shrimp mixture. If desired sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
