3/4 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound shelled and deveined large shrimp
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a boil.
Whisk in the grits and cook over moderately high
heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and the
grains are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese
and butter, season with salt and pepper and whisk
just until the cheese is melted. Cover and remove
from the heat.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil until
shimmering. Add the bacon and cook over moderately
high heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat is
rendered and the bacon is golden, about 8 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a
paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Pour off all but 4 tablespoons of the fat in the
skillet. Add the garlic and cook over moderately
high heat just until fragrant. Add the shrimp and
cook until curled and pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in
the parsley and bacon; season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the warm, cheesy grits into shallow bowls and
top with the shrimp and bacon. Serve right away.
