Directions:

  1. To make the grits: Bring water, milk, butter & salt to a simmer. Slowly stir in the grits and simmer, stirring often, until grits are tender and just thick enough to adhere to a spoon, approx. 30 to 45 minutes. If grits become too thick before they are fully cooked, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time.
  2. To make the shrimp: In a sauce pan, reduce the shrimp or chicken stock by half. Meanwhile, heat bacon fat in a high-sided pan, add bell pepper & saute until pepper wilts. Add ham, garlic & the shrimp. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the reduced stock and heavy cream. Cook over high heat until shrimp are just cooked through & the sauce is thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve the shrimp mixture and sauce over the grits. Garnish each portion with 1 teaspoon sliced scallion greens.
