How to Make Bobby Flay's Shrimp And Grits

  1. Melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in milk and water; add 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil.
  4. Gradually whisk in grits. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, stirring frequently.
  5. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until grits are creamy and thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. While grits simmer, prepare the shrimp:
  8. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot. Add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 3 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
  9. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  10. Serve shrimp over a bed of creamy grits. Garnish with crispy bacon and thinly sliced scallions.
