Steps:
- Combine lemon juice, hot sauce and raw shrimp. Set aside.
- Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. (While bacon is cooking bring 5 cups water to a boil in a separate saucepan for grits.) To the skillet add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to dripping and bacon pieces; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in shrimp mixture, broth and 1/4 cup green onions. Cook 5 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring frequently.
- While shrimp are cooking, add quick cooking grits to boiling water, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, simmer, covered for 5 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Stir in butter, salt and 3/4 cup of the cheese.
- To serve, pour grits in shallow bowl. Heap shrimp on top of your serving of grits with remaining cheese and green onions.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of grits, but this recipe changed my mind. The creamy texture of the grits paired perfectly with the savory shrimp. I'll definitely be making this again.

[email protected]The dish was delicious, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

[email protected]Overall, it was a good recipe. However, I thought the shrimp was a little bland. Next time, I'll try marinating the shrimp in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs before cooking it.

[email protected]The shrimp and grits turned out great, but I made a few changes to the recipe. I used old bay seasoning instead of cayenne pepper, and I added a bit of chopped green onion for color. Yum!!!

[email protected]Sadly, it was a fail for me. The grits were too salty, and the shrimp was overcooked. I think I'll stick to my usual shrimp scampi recipe.
