Shrimp and Grits

We've had shrimp and grits a few times since our initial attempt and it is always a delicious success. It's pretty hard to go wrong when there's bacon involved, but the creamy grits and assortment of complementary vegetables all come together to make a hearty comfort food. I especially liked the fresh tomatoes that we added this time around; the light acidity nicely balances the savoriness of the bacon, mushrooms, and grits.

Here's what we did!
Cook quick grits in chicken stock.
Cook bacon and remove from pan. Saute mushrooms and onions in bacon grease until close to done. Add garlic and shrimp and cook until shrimp is done.
Serve grits in bowl and top with cooked ingredients, fresh tomatoes, and green onions.
