Step 1

Oil a 9-inch square glass baking dish.

Step 2

Combine the milk and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the grits and cook, whisking, until very thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheddar until melted. Add the salt, pepper and parsley. Pour into the dish and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the grits. Refrigerate the grits until firm, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

3.Preheat the broiler to high. Unmold the grits onto a cutting board and cut them into 9 squares. Lay the squares on a baking sheet, brush them with olive oil and broil until golden brown and warmed through, 2-3 minutes per side. Keep them warm

Step 4

Cook the bacon until crispy in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop out the bacon bits and set them on a paper towel to drain.

Step 5

Pour most of the drippings off but leave 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the shallots and remaining garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the bacon, cream, cream corn, Creole seasoning and thyme and stir. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Serve the shrimp and sauce on top of the grits cakes.
