Ingredients
-
3 ½ cups water
-
1 cup quick-cooking grits
-
3 ounces farmers cheese
-
2 ounces goat cheese
-
1 slice American cheese
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
-
1 large tomato, diced
-
2 green onions, sliced
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon bacon drippings, or to taste (Optional)
-
1 pound fresh shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
¼ cup half-and-half, or more to taste
-
1 tablespoon dry sherry
-
1 green onion (green tops only), sliced
Directions
-
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan and slowly whisk in grits; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened and tender, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir farmers cheese, goat cheese, and American cheese into grits until cheese has melted. Set grits aside and keep warm.
-
Melt butter with vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir tomato, 2 green onions, and garlic in the hot skillet until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in bacon drippings until combined. Cook and stir shrimp with vegetables until bright pink, about 5 minutes; season to taste with salt and black pepper.
-
Mix grits into shrimp mixture and stir in half-and-half until smooth. Simmer the mixture to blend flavors, about 5 minutes, and add sherry. Simmer 3 more minutes before adjusting salt and black pepper. Garnish with sliced green tops of 1 green onion before serving.
