Shrimp and Grits

I found Wild Shrimp on sale at my local New Seasons and decided to make Shrimp and Grits.  It has been quite some time since I made it. I paired it with sauteed Rainbow Chard (in butter and tons of garlic, topped with Balsamic Vinegar).

It was a memorable meal, YUM!

1 pound of Shrimp (Wild Preferred) peeled/de-veined

2 Tbl of Butter

3 cloves of garlic chopped finely

1 slice of bacon diced

4 cups water

Salt and pepper

1 cup stone-ground grits

3 tablespoons butter

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

Bring water to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Add grits and cook until water is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheese.

Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Fry the bacon in a large skillet until browned; drain. In grease, add garlic and cook for several minutes, add shrimp and cook until shrimp turn pink. 

Spoon grits into a serving bowl. Add shrimp on top. Serve immediately.
