Directions:
For grits:
Bring stock and butter to a hard boil in medium saucepan. Add grits and stir vigorously for about a minute, until grits bloom. Reduce heat to simmer; continue approximately 20-25 minutes, stirring every few minutes as to not stick to pan. Add cream to desired consistency. Grits should be thick enough to almost stand a spoon. Cover and keep warm. You may need to add a little liquid before you serve. Add white cheddar cheese if you like.
For Shrimp:
Render bacon in heavy bottomed large sauté pan until just crisp. Add peppers, onions, garlic, shallot, parsley and mix. Cook 1-2 minutes on medium high heat until tender. Add shrimp and blackening seasoning to taste, As shrimp begins to turn pink, add wine; reduce/denature by half. Add stock: reduce by half, cooking approximately 2 minutes. Add tomatoes. Reduce heat to simmer; finishing with butter to achieve nice nappe.
To serve, portion grits onto plate or bowl; evenly distribute shrimp mixture. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
