SOUTHERN SHRIMP AND GRITS RECIPE
Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Slowly whisk in the grits and salt. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes (or until thick and smooth), stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Add the cheese and butter; whisk or stir until melted and smooth.
- While you cook the grits, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the drippings in the skillet.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic, green onions, lemon juice, and shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook just until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-4 minutes.
- Return bacon to the skillet. Taste and season the dish with salt, pepper, and hot sauce, to taste.
- Divide the grits among serving bowls. Top with shrimp mixture, garnish with green onions or herbs, and serve immediately.

MOMMA'S SHRIMP AND CHEESE GRITS
I have tried a number of shrimp and grits recipes, but have not found one I really like. So I decided to experiment a bit and created a simple but delicious recipe that will surely please the taste buds. In New Orleans we like our cayenne pepper, so use less if you don't like so much heat.

CREAMY SOUTHERN SHRIMP AND CHEESE GRITS
I came up with this recipe when I couldn't find anything else that would satisfy my cravings for a gourmet shrimp and grits without spending a ton of money at restaurants. This is simple and delicious, and is made with things we mostly all have in our homes. Use chicken stock in grits, if you prefer.
