Instructions
- 1
Cook the Grits: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, whisking occasionally until thick and tender.
- 2
Finish the Grits: Remove the grits from the heat. Vigorously stir in the heavy cream, butter, and cheddar cheese until completely smooth and velvety. Cover to keep warm.
- 3
Crisp the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon pieces with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

Season the Shrimp: Toss the prepared shrimp with the Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- 5
Sauté the Shrimp: Heat the bacon fat in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until opaque and pink.
- 6
Assemble: Ladle a generous portion of the cheesy grits into shallow bowls. Top with the cooked shrimp, a drizzle of the pan juices, the crispy bacon bits, and freshly chopped scallions.
