Sauteed Shrimp with Grits

Directions

Prepare grits according to package directions and stir in the cheese and cayenne. Keep warm while preparing shrimp.

In a large sauté pan, heat the butter, oil and bacon drippings over medium-high. Sauté the onion, peppers and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato and sauté another 2 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, lemon juice and Tabasco (if using); season to taste with salt and pepper. Sauté until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Sprinkle with the scallions.

Spread warm grits on a large platter or divide equally on individual serving plates or bowls. Pour shrimp and vegetable mixture over the top.
