Shrimp & Grits

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

In a 2-quart saucepan, bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and whisk in grits. Cook 2–3 minutes or until tender, whisking frequently. Whisk in cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cover and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Add bacon; cook and stir 6–7 minutes or until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Reserve bacon fat in sauté pan.

Step 3

Add mushrooms and garlic to pan. Cook and stir 2–3 minutes or until mushrooms brown. Season shrimp with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and smoked paprika; add shrimp to pan. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, broth, and hot sauce; cook 1–2 minutes more until sauce thickens.

Step 4

Divide grits between 4 bowls; top each with shrimp and sauce. Garnish each bowl with bacon, green onions, and lemon wedges.
