another good grits recipe- with shrimp. Close to what the local N'orleans place serves.

Shrimp and Grits Recipe
From Diana Rattray,



Shrimp and grits, with shrimp, cooked grits, and bacon and tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS:

2 to 3 slices bacon
grits, for 4 to 6 people
1 to 1 1/2 pounds shrimp
1 small onion, finely minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes with juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste

PREPARATION:

Cook 2-3 slices bacon until done but still tender, set aside. Prepare grits per directions, adding a small finely minced onion before starting cook time, clean shrimp, when grits are almost done, chop shrimp into halfs, crumble up bacon and toss both into grits. Continue cooking until grits are ready. Add crushed tomatoes (juice and all), then add hot pepper.
I serve this with scrambled eggs and hash browns.
