I came up with this recipe when I couldn't find anything else that would satisfy my cravings for a gourmet shrimp and grits without spending a ton of money at restaurants. This is simple and delicious, and is made with things we mostly all have in our homes. Use chicken stock in grits, if you prefer.
3 ½ cups water
1 cup quick-cooking grits
3 ounces farmers cheese
2 ounces goat cheese
1 slice American cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 large tomato, diced
2 green onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon bacon drippings, or to taste (Optional)
1 pound fresh shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup half-and-half, or more to taste
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 green onion (green tops only), sliced
