Season your shrimp with "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning. It is a creole staple, but if you can’t find it, you can also use old bay or any type of Cajun seasoning.
Cook regular bacon in a frying pan and chop it into small pieces. Use the oil in the frying pan to cook the shrimp. This was a common method the enslaved people used since it cut down on food waste and added flavor to the shrimp and grits.
Cook bell pepper and onion in bacon grease
Cook the grits according to the package. You can find black-owned grits companies or use Quaker grits.
Add chicken stock and/or milk to get the grits creamy and flavorful.
Add some butter, cheese, and hot sauce if you like spicy food.
Garnish the grits with chopped green onions.
Finally, top it all off with your freshly cooked shrimp. Enjoy warm!
