  3. In a skillet, cook 3-4 strips of bacon till crispy. Use the crumbled bacon as a final topping.
  4. In the bacon grease (extra virgin olive oil can also be used), saute/fry a clove or possibly two of garlic, scallions (about 4 onions worth) and mushrooms (about 6 medium to large grocery store mushrooms). Toss in the rock shrimp and cook till they are bright pink. Be careful not to overcook them as they will continue cooking in the grits.
  5. Grate about 1/2 pound white American cheese (colby and cheddar also work well but American melts very nicely). Stir the cheese into the grits, followed by the mushrooms, scallions and shrimp. Add in more red pepper if needed.
  6. Fresh grnd black pepper is also nice. Serve in bowls with grated cheese and bacon crumbled on top.
