Ingredients
For the Grits
1/2 cup yellow grits (We use Lake Side which is local to North Carolina; however, you may substitute with quick cooking white grits.)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 stick butter
For the Shrimp and Sauce
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail off
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 tablespoon flour
4 slices bacon
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
Seasoning blend for shrimp
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp chili powder
Directions:
Combine the seasonings in a small bowl. Coat the shrimp well with the seasoning mixture and set aside.
Bring 2 cups chicken broth and ½ stick of butter to a boil and add grits. Cook for about 5 minutes with the lid on. When the grits are done, remove from heat and add the cheese and heavy cream. Stir well, cover and set aside.
Cook the bacon and remove from the pan. Chop into bite size pieces. Reserve ½ of the drippings for the shrimp.
Using the other half of the drippings, toss in the veggies and cook until slightly caramelized. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir for about one minute. Add the remainder of the chicken broth and stir. All the gravy to thicken just a bit and remove from the heat.
Using the reserved bacon drippings, you will cook the shrimp. Heat the drippings in the pan and when they are hot, add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp until they begin to turn pink and add the tablespoon of butter. Toss around and remove from the heat.
Plate up with a dollop of grits, then gravy and layer the shrimp on top. Sprinkle with bacon bits and parsley.
