Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons hot sauce (Tabasco)
2 lbs raw shrimp, peeled
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup green onion, sliced and divided
5 cups water
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking grits
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice, hot sauce and raw shrimp. Set aside.
  • Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. (While bacon is cooking bring 5 cups water to a boil in a separate saucepan for grits.) To the skillet add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to dripping and bacon pieces; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in shrimp mixture, broth and 1/4 cup green onions. Cook 5 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring frequently.
  • While shrimp are cooking, add quick cooking grits to boiling water, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, simmer, covered for 5 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Stir in butter, salt and 3/4 cup of the cheese.
  • To serve, pour grits in shallow bowl. Heap shrimp on top of your serving of grits with remaining cheese and green onions.
