This shrimp and grits recipe is a favorite in our home. Cooking the grits in water and milk is the secret to their creamy texture. The best part is that this recipe comes together in 20 minutes.
Reserve 2 teaspoons of bacon fat and then pour off the rest. Cook the garlic and the whites of the green onion in the reserved bacon fat over medium heat until fragrant and slightly softened (about 1 minute)
Add the shrimp to the frying pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through.
To serve, layer grits and the shrimp mixture then top with the crispy bacon and the remaining green onion.
Serve warm.
Pour the grits into the milk mixture and quickly whisk to avoid any clumps from forming. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally. If your grits become too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time to thin. If they’re too thin, cook for a few minutes longer.
Salt to taste.
Pinch. Plate. Party.
