This recipe for shrimp and grits is a quick, easy and delicious southern main dish. There are two versions of shrimp and grits. One is made with a cheesy cream sauce. My recipe is based on the version made with tomatoes. Serve with buttered or Cheese Grits, which is in the similar and related recipes.
Make buttered or cheese grits following the recipe you are using or package directions for 4 servings.
Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the bacon. Fry until starting to crisp, then add the onions and green peppers. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté one more minute. Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, until the tomatoes have broken down, about 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the sauce. Cover and cook until shrimp turn pink, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately, spooning shrimp and sauce over the grits.
