Shrimp & Grits

I made this dish the other night and John loved it - best part, VERY easy...
1 lb. shrimp
6 pieces of bacon
1 cup grits (not instant)
4 cups of water
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (I didn't use quite that much)
4 tbsp butter
1/3 cup lemon juice
Handful of chopped parsley
1 cup minced green onions
1 tbsp. minced garlic

Bring water to boil, add grits, 1 tbsp butter and simmer till water is absorbed - 25-30 minutes. Add the rest of the butter and the cheese.

Cook bacon in skillet. Remove bacon when crispy and chop. Cook shrimp in the bacon drippings until pink. Add lemon juice, bacon, parsley, green onion and garlic.

Put the grits in a bowl and add shrimp/sauce on top. As Rachael Ray would say - YUMMO.
