Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 slice bacon, chopped
3 cooked medium shrimp
1 cup water
1 dash salt
¼ cup quick-cooking grits
1 slice Gouda cheese
½ tablespoon butter
1 small green onion, chopped
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon into a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. When bacon is almost crisp, add shrimp and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a saucepan; add grits. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir Gouda cheese and butter into cooked grits until well mixed and cheese is melted. Add bacon and shrimp. Garnish with green onion and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

The grits were too runny. I would cook them for a little longer next time.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

The shrimp and bacon were cooked perfectly, but the grits were a little bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change next time is to use a different type of cheese. I used cheddar cheese, but I think a pepper jack cheese would have been better.

This dish was a hit with my family! The kids loved the shrimp and bacon, and I appreciated the fact that it was a one-pan meal. It was also very easy to make, which is always a bonus.

This was an amazing dish! The flavors of the shrimp, bacon, and grits were perfectly balanced. I loved the cheesy and slightly spicy kick from the pepper jack cheese. I will definitely be making this again soon!
