🔥 Instructions:
- Cook the Grits Bring water and salt to a boil. Stir in grits and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring often, for 20–25 minutes until thick and creamy. Stir in butter and cheese (if using). Keep warm.
- Prepare the Shrimp In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan. Sauté onion and garlic in bacon fat until soft. Add shrimp, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque—about 3–4 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley. Return bacon to the pan.
- Assemble and Serve Spoon grits into bowls. Top with shrimp mixture and drizzle pan sauce over the top. Garnish with extra parsley or scallions if desired.
🍷 Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with a crisp white wine or sweet tea
- Add sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms for extra depth
- For a Cajun twist, use andouille sausage and Creole seasoning
