Mmmm...shrimp and grits and cold IPA. The good thing about homemade S&G is all you can eat. The bad thing about homemade S&G is all you can eat.
 
5 pcs bacon
2 bell peppers
1 onion
1 lb smoked sausage(I prefer andouille, but it's to spicy for the family)
4 cloves garlic
1 1/2 lbs shrimp
All purpose flour
Heavy cream
Chicken broth
Grits
Cheddar cheese
Green onions

Chop bacon, cook, set aside
Drain 1/2 drippings
Chop peppers and onions and sweat in bacon drippings
Mince garlic and add to veggies
Cut sausage into 1/4" pcs and add to pan
Cook for about 10 mins
Sprinkle flour over top and cook for about 5mins
Add 1/4 cup heavy cream
Slowly stir in 1 cup chicken broth
Season shrimp with salt/pepper & cajun seasoning
Add shrimp to pan

Cook grits with chicken broth instead of water. When done add 1/2 stick butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/2 package shredded sharp cheddar.

Spoon grits in bowl and shrimp mix. Top with chopped bacon and chopped green onions.

A heavy iron skillet works best for cooking shrimp mixture.
