QUICK CREAMY SHRIMP AND GRITS
I love shrimp and grits, and especially when they have a yummy, creamy sauce. So I combined and adapted several recipes to make this one. I adore this quick version, especially the bacon-roasted corn in the grits - YUM. It's definitely NOT low-fat, but few of the tastiest things in life are, so indulge! And maybe have a salad the next day.....

Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large skillet, then crumble and set aside. Turn the heat to medium-high and add corn to the skillet. Cook and stir until the kernels begin to toast and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Drain skillet of all but one tablespoon of bacon fat, and set aside to use for shrimp.
- Add chicken stock, milk and 1 cup of the heavy cream to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and add the garlic salt and toasted corn kernels. Slowly whisk in grits, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, whisking often to keep grits from sticking to the pan. When the grits are cooked and thickened, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Whisk well to completely incorporate. These are mashed potato consistency - if you like looser grits, whisk in more chicken stock to loosen to how you like them. Set aside, covered to keep warm, while you prepare the shrimp.
- Heat skillet with bacon fat and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic, mushrooms and 2/3 of the sliced green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add shrimp, cajun seasoning and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and sear the shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes on each side until almost cooked through -- about 3 minutes total. Add lemon juice, Chipotle tabasco and black pepper and stir well to get any residue off of the bottom of the pot, then stir in the reserved bacon and reserved 1/2 cup heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken.
- To serve, spoon some of the cheesy corn grits into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle with some of the reserved cheese and stir in so that there are bits of cheese throughout. Top with a generous serving of the sauce and shrimp, and sprinkle with reserved chopped green onion. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring 3 cups of the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan. Slowly stir in the grits. Return to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn down the heat and stir in the pepper jack, Cheddar and mascarpone. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter and keep warm. Heat the remaining 2 cups stock in a separate saucepan until hot.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and some salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, then remove and set aside. (The shrimp will finish cooking in the sauce.)
- Add the bacon, onion, red pepper and jalapeno to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the hot stock and add hot sauce to taste. Return the shrimp to the skillet with any juices that have accumulated. Cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, another 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

- Bring the milk and chicken broth to a boil. Slowly add in grits while whisking continuously. Over medium heat, cook grits for about 4 to 5 minutes until they thicken up.
- Take off of the heat and add in salt, pepper, 2 tbsp butter and cheese. Whisk until smooth and lump free. Turn the heat to low until you are ready to serve. (Note: grits will thicken up the longer they cook. If you have them on low heat for a while you may need to add additional butter or milk to thin out the grits).
- Meanwhile add bacon to a large skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. When the bacon is cool crumble or chop it into smaller bite size pieces. Do not drain the bacon grease!
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same pan the bacon was cooked in. Heat over medium high heat and add in shrimp. Saute until fully cooked and no longer opaque, 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
