Shrimp and Grits Recipe

Bring water, chicken broth, and garlic powder to a boil in a medium pot. Add grits and cook for 18 to 20 minutes or thick and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and butter until melted.

Meanwhile, chop bacon. Fry in a medium-sized pan until crispy. Remove from pan leaving drippings in the pan.

Saute onions in the bacon grease for 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly softened. Add bell peppers and cook until tender, about 3 minutes more. Remove the peppers and onions from the pan and set aside.

Toss the shrimp with garlic powder and Old Bay seasoning. Cook in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add onion mixture back in along with lemon juice and parsley.

Serve shrimp mixture overtop of grits. Garnish with crumbled bacon, parsley, and lemon wedges.
