Shrimp and Grits

This is how I make it for myself since no one else in my house will eat it.

Ingredients:
a handful of peeled and deveined shrimp (I don't know how much this is -- a 1/4 pound?)
2 slices of bacon
small amount of diced onion (1/8 cup?)
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
small amount of chopped parsley
juice of 1/2 small lemon
tabasco (couple of dashes)
salt and pepper

Cut bacon into pieces. Fry in skillet. Remove to paper towels (leave bacon grease in pan). Fry onion in bacon fat until translucent. Add mushrooms and shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp is almost done. Add garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, lemon juice and tabasco. Turn off heat. Add the bacon pieces. Serve over cheese grits.

Cheese Grits

I just make grits in the microwave (not instant), then add cheese and butter. I think the grits recipe is 3/4 cup water and 3 tablespoons grits cooked for 4 minutes in the microwave.
