Steps:
- In a medium pot or soup pot, bring the broth and milk to a boil. Add the grits, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, whisking well. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, cheese, and more salt and pepper to taste. Cover until ready to serve.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat. When crisp, remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to remove the excess grease and oil.
- Add the shrimp and red pepper flakes to the bacon grease in the cast iron skillet, turn the heat down to medium, and saute the shrimp, flipping them over after a minute or so, and letting the other side cook, cooking about 3 minutes total.
- Turn off heat and add minced garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds; the residual heat will cook the garlic through. The shrimp should be opaque entirely, and gently curl in. Stir in lemon juice and parsley, and season to taste.
- Divide the grits into serving bowls and top with the shrimp and chopped bits of bacon, if preferred in dish. Garnish with more chopped parsley and serve immediately.

SOUTHERN EGGS BENEDICT
This is a southern take on the classic poached egg breakfast. The biggest change is going from a Hollandaise to a Remoulade which wakes the dish up and adds the surprise of shrimp. This dish requires some prep work the night before to make the grits crispy.

Steps:
- The day before, cook the grits according to package directions (usually 4 cups of water to 1 cup of grits) to taste. Allow to cool and then spread onto cookie sheet or something similar and spread out grits so they are about 1" thick. Refrigerate overnight. The idea is to make them stiff and dry them out.
- The Morning of, create the Remoulade by combining all ingredients (except grits, ham, eggs) in a bowl. Rinse and thaw shrimp before adding to Remoulade.
- Cut grits into 4 sections the size of a piece bread or an English Muffin (a large cookie cutter works perfect). Lightly flour the grits so they will brown and hold together.
- Pan fry the grit cakes in butter and oil until slightly brown.
- Cut the country ham in a similar fashion to the grits so when you put the ham on the grit "cake" it will have similar proportions.
- Poach each egg and plate with grit section on bottom followed by country ham then poached egg.
- Pour Remoulade over stack and sprinkle with paprika.
