Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb large raw shrimp
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups water
1 cup hot stock
1/4 cup butter
salt and black pepper
1 cup quick-cooking grits
6 slices bacon
3 tbsp finely chopped onions
1 garlic clove, minced

Directions:

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cream, water, and hot stock; bring to a gentle boil. Add butter, salt, and pepper. Slowly add grits, stirring constantly (so that the grits do not settle to the bottom and scorch), until all are added; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are tender.
Sprinkle shrimp with lemon juice, salt, and pepper; set aside. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon until brown but not crisp. Remove from heat and pat dry with paper towels; set aside. Coarsely chop bacon when cool. Reserve bacon grease in frying pan. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 10 minutes until the onion is transparent. Add shrimp mixture and bacon; sauté 5 to 7 minutes or until shrimp are opaque in center. Remove from heat.
To serve, spoon hot grits onto individual serving plates and top with shrimp mixture. If desired sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
