SHRIMP:.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the ketchup, bourbon, cider vinegar, molasses, honey, Tabasco, thyme and cayenne.
Simmer over low heat, until thickened, about 40 minutes.
Transfer the barbecue sauce to a blender and puree until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper.
Pour 1/3 cup of the sauce into a small bowl and reserve the rest.
Preheat a grill pan.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and brush on both sides with the 1/3 cup of barbecue sauce.
Grease the grill pan with the oil.
Grill the shrimp over moderate heat, turning once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes.
CHEESE GRITS:.
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth & crushed red pepper flakes, if using, to a boil.
Add the garlic and slowly stir in the grits.
Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook, stirring frequently, until the grits are tender, 20 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cheese, butter, and cream.
Transfer to plates and serve with cheese grits and the remaining barbecue sauce.
