- Once shrimp are cooked assemble dinner. Divide the grits evenly among the two plates then divide the shrimp among the two bowls. Top with additional crumbled feta and parsley.
Notes
- Feta - If you can't find the tomato basil feta you can use regular feta.
- Shrimp - If you can not find rock shrimp you can use medium-pink shrimp with the shells and tails off.
- Bacon - If you have bacon on hand you can fry 1-2 peices prior to cooking the garlic and onions. Then chop the crispy bacon up and sprinkle on top of the shrimp and grits.
