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
Instructions
- 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.

Delicious. Chopped cherry tomatoes work too.

Delicious and even better the next day when the flavors melded.
I enjoyed this recipe. I prepared exactly as directed and wished it had a bit more flavor, but overall it was a nice, comforting dish. Next time, I would add more cheese and maybe a little red pepper flake for some heat. I needed to add quite a bit of salt to add flavor. Perhaps I will try the recommendation of cooking the grits in chicken stock next time to see if that adds more flavor.
Just tried it. If you’re not a fan of goat cheese you’ll need to omit it from the recipe as it will overpower everything else in the dish. I doubled the shrimp since 1/6 pound/person seemed a little light. Might go 2 1/2 pounds next time. With the exception of the shrimp, the proportions of the ingredients where great. Nice consistency, good presentation and very filling. Ours was served with a side of chilled asparagus.
