Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté bacon until brown and crisp this may take about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove bacon from skillet and transfer to a plate. Some bacon drippings will be left in the pan (about 3 tablespoons).
- Add about a tablespoon of oil or butter to the pan, followed by shrimp. Then season with Cajun salt, and sauté shrimp for about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Then add garlic, paprika, bell pepper, parsley, and green onions to the pan. Add about ¼ cup of broth or more - adjust to preference. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
- Add shrimp towards the last minute with lemon juice if desired, and adjust to taste. Throw in the crisp bacon, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
- Remove the mix from the heat and serve over your grits.
- Start by adding water, milk, bay leaf, and salt to a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Gradually whisk in the grits until you have added them all to the pot. Keep stirring with a whisk to prevent lumps. You may need to remove the saucepan from heat while getting rid of lumps.
- Reduce heat and cook grits at a bare simmer, covered, frequently stirring, until water is fully absorbed and grits thickened. This will take you about 15 minutes.
- Then remove grits from heat; add butter and cheese. Stir with a whisk until cheese melts.
- Assemble the dish by placing the grits at the bottom of a shallow bowl, then the Cajun shrimp and sauce on top. Enjoy piping hot!

Steps:
- For shrimp: In a pan set over low heat, sweat the onion, celery, and green peppers until tender. In a separate large pan, sauté the tasso ham on medium-high heat until the fat starts to render. Add the sweated vegetables and creole seasoning. When the creole seasoning starts to toast and become fragrant, add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes. Glaze the mixture with sherry, and add the cream and butter. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through and the cream is reduced to a sauce consistency. Grits: Combine the chicken stock and milk in a pot and cook over low heat. When the liquid begins to simmer, add the grits and continue to cook over low heat until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency. Stir in the cheddar cheese until it melts. Ladle the grits into a bowl and spoon the shrimp mixture over top. Garnish with the green onions.

Steps:
- Grits: Boil 2 cups of water in medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining ingredients in consecutive order while stirring slowly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Slowly stir in the grits. Allow to simmer, stirring every 5 minutes until reaching the desired consistency, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the grits to a serving bowl and keep warm.
- Shrimp: Mix all of the dry ingredients thoroughly in bowl until well blended. Melt the butter or olive oil in a large grill pan over high heat. Generously coat the shrimp in the seasoning mixture. Add them to the grill pan and cook until caramelized on both sides. Remove them from the pan to a serving bowl and serve with the grits.
- Suggestion: Adding cheese and/or gravy with fried onions, to taste, will elevate the dish considerably.
