ingredients

236.59 ml grits
236.59 ml extra-sharp cheddar cheese (freshly grated)
4 slice bacon (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
453.59 g raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
59.14 ml white wine
2-3 plum tomatoes (or substitute tomatoes of your choice)
fresh ground black pepper
2 scallions (sliced)

directions

Cook the grits according to the package directions. Stir in the Cheddar.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
Add the minced garlic and saute for about 45 seconds; add white wine, shrimp, and tomatoes to the skillet and cook in the bacon fat, tossing occasionally, until the shrimp is opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add a generous grind of black pepper; stir in the scallions and the bacon, and immediately serve over the grits.
