Instructions
  1. Over medium heat, crisp the bacon. Once cook set it aside & drain the grease from the pan, leaving about a tablespoon. Once cooled, dice the bacon.
  2. While the bacon cooks, dice the onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic. Add all but the garlic to the pan and sauté until soft. With a couple minutes left, add the garlic. Remove the mixture from the pan & set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil & add a teaspoon of salt. Slowly whisk in the grits and bring the mixture back to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Remove the grits from the heat & cover. After about 5 minutes, stir the pepper & onion mixture into the grits, add the butter and cheese. Salt & pepper to taste.
  5. While the grits cook, season the shrimp with a sprinkle of salt and the chili powder. Cook over medium in the same pan as the peppers & onions, using any extra bacon grease you have. Cook for a few minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  6. Spoon the grits into a shallow bowl & top with the shrimp, bacon, and parsley.
