This Shrimp and Grits recipe is the perfect meal if you want to serve an impressive dish that is super simple to throw together and packed with flavor.
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.
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.
Add 1tbsp of butter to the same pan the bacon was cooked in. Heat over medium high heat and add in shrimp. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning and saute until fully cooked and no longer opaque, 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate. Add in the wine and scrape the brown bites off the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the lemon juice and add the shrimp and crumbled bacon back to the pan.
Serve with green onions and hot sauce, if desired.
