Preptime   25 min- Cook 35 min

Ingredients
GRITS -2 cups water
4 cups chicken stock - divided
2 Bay Leaves
1/2 TSP Salt
1 cup real grits or polenta (not instant)
1 stick of butter - divided
1 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
SHRIMP - 1 - 2 Lbs Large peeled and de-veined shrimp
 
6 slices Bacon - chopped
1/2 medium sweet onion chopped
1 red or yellow Bell Pepper
1 large clove of garlic minced
2 Tbs corn starch
1 Tbs Lemon Juice
1 Tsp Thyme
2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
Grits - Bring water and 2 cups of stock, 2 bay leaves, 3 Tbs butter to boil in a medium sauce pan. Add Bay Leaf, salt and pepper to taste. Slowly wish in the grits breaking up any lumps and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquids are absorbed (25 minutes) whisking occasionally. Remove Grits and discard bay leaves then whisk in the cheeses. Taste to adjust seasonings and cover over low heat to keep warm stirring occasionally. You can add more liquid if it gets sticky or dry.
While the Grits are cooking, make the shrimp and sauce. Peel and devein shrimp in cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. In a large skillet, fry the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel and when cooled crumble and set aside.
Discard all but 3 Tbs of the bacon grease and add shrimp to the pan, cook until translucent (about 2 minutes or less on each side) then transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside. Add the chopped onions, and bell peppers to the pan and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute then sprinkle with cornstarch and stir until vegetables are evenly cooked.
Whisk in the remaining Chicken Stock (2 cups), lemon juice, thyme, the rest of the butter. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes or until butter is melted and sauce thickens. Stir often and adjust seasonings as desired. Remove from heat and add back the shrimp to the sauce to reheat shrimp. Spoon the grits into a warmed serving bowl and spoon the shrimp and sauce evenly in each bowl on top of grits. Garnish with fresh parsley and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
NOTE- Cajun seasoning can be added for additional flavor.
