*** Shrimp and Grits for Hungry Chicks and Dudes

• 1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
• Dash salt
• 1/2 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
• 1 Tbsp light whipped butter or light buttery spread
• 1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese
• 8 oz raw shrimp, peeled, tail removed, deveined
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (white and green parts)
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
• 2 Tbsp precooked real crumbled bacon
• Optional: hot sauce

In a medium pot, bring 2 cups water to a boil on the stove. Add grits and salt and stir well. Reduce heat to lowest setting. Stirring occasionally, cook until water has been absorbed, about 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese, butter, and cheese wedge, breaking cheese wedge into pieces as you add it. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Add scallions, parsley, lemon juice, and garlic. If you like, add a dash or two of hot sauce. Stir well and remove from heat.

Serve grits topped with shrimp and bacon. Eat up y'all!
