Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the grits with the water and milk over medium-low heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and creamy, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the salt and the cream and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl and season with the cajun seasoning, tossing to cover evenly. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Slice the andouille sausage in half lengthwise and then into 1/2 inch thick half moons and add to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the cut bacon until cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pan and add to the bowl with the sausage. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the fat into a small bowl and set aside.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with 1/4 cup of the flour and toss to coat. Tap the excess flour from the shrimp and place in the skillet taking care not to crowd the pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side. Cook the shrimp in batches if needed. Transfer the shrimp to another bowl and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon fat to the skillet and set the heat to medium high. Add the onion, celery, garlic and bay leaf and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the flour over the vegetables. Crush the dried thyme between your fingers and add to the veggies, and stir to evenly coat the veggies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sausage and bacon back to the skillet, then add the clam juice, chicken broth, and the tomatoes, stirring into the vegetables and decreasing the heat to medium-low.
- Simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon and the tomatoes are just about to burst.*
- Return the shrimp to the pan. Add half of the chopped green onions, Tabasco, Worcestershire, and lemon juice. Discard the bay leaf and swirl in the butter.
- Spoon a serving of the warm grits into a bowl and ladle with a few shrimp and some sauce. Garnish with chopped green onion and parsley.

Steps:
- Pour the Worcestershire sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat, and boil to reduce the sauce to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, then stir in the hot pepper sauce. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil, then stir in the grits. Cook the grits until thick and the chicken broth has been absorbed, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up grits sticking to the bottom of the pan. Pour in the half-and-half and milk, stir to combine, and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the grits an additional 30 minutes to absorb the cream and milk, stirring occasionally. Remove the grits from the heat, and set aside.
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the sliced sausage until the edges brown. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook and stir the mixture until the mushrooms have released their juice and the juice has been almost cooked away, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato, sprinkle with salt to help bring out the juice, and stir in the green onions and shrimp. Cook and stir the mixture until the shrimp have turned opaque and pink, about 4 minutes.
- Pour the reserved Worcestershire sauce mixture over the shrimp, mix well to thoroughly combine, and cook and stir the shrimp mixture for 3 to 4 minutes, until heated through and blended. Stir in the parsley and serve over hot cooked grits topped with Monterey Jack cheese.

- Heat and soak the grits. Combine the water, grits, bay leaves, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Immediately turn off the heat, cover, and set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, clean the shrimp.
- Peel and devein the shrimp. Clean the shrimp: insert the tip of a pair of kitchen shears between the shrimp and the top of its shell, and begin cutting through the shell down the length of the shrimp. Stop when you get to the tail. Peel back the shell from either side and discard. Pinch the tail where it meets the body of the shrimp and gently pull. The rest of the shrimp should pull cleanly out of the tail. Gently run your paring knife along the back of the shrimp. Gently pull up the vein with the tip of your paring knife, starting near the top and continuing to the bottom, and remove the vein.
- Boil the grits. Return the grits to medium-high heat and boil uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir the grits occasionally, scraping the bottom to prevent clumping or burning. While the grits cook, get the shrimp mixture started in another pan.
- Cook the sausage and tomato mixture. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 1 minute per side. Add the bell pepper, scallions, and garlic, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, oregano, Creole seasoning, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the juices thicken, about 6 minutes. You can keep the sauce warm over low heat until the grits are ready.
