1 3/4 cups Instant Grits
7 cups Water
1 3/4 cups Heavy Cream
1 3/4 cups Gouda Cheese (shredded)
1 stick Butter (unsalted)
3 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
3 1/2 tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 3/4 cup Bacon (chopped)

Instructions

To Make The Gouda Grits

In a large sauce pan over medium/high heat, bring water and heavy cream to a boil.
Slowly add the grits, Gouda cheese and butter while whisking until blended with grits.
Reduce heat to low and cover for five to seven minutes whisking about every minute.
Remove from heat, add salt and pepper and set aside.

To Make The Creole Sauce

In a large sauce pan over medium high heat, add chopped bacon and cook for three minutes.
Add shrimp, salt and pepper, cook for another three minutes until shrimp are pink. Remove shrimp leaving the bacon in the pan.
To the pan add green pepper, celery and onion and sauté until tender and fragrant.
Add garlic and continue to sauté for another two minutes.
Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the petite diced tomatoes, chicken stock, oregano, basil, thyme, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder and bay leaf.
Reduce heat to medium and stir until desired reduced and thickened. Remove from heat.
To a shallow, rimmed bowl or rimmed plate, ladle a generous amount of sauce into the plate or bowl. Top with a scoop of the Gouda grits in the middle. Place 2 to 3 shrimp around the grits tucking into the creole sauce. Garnish with your favorite herbs and lemon wedge.
