1 cup Dry Grits, Prepared To Your Preference
3 Tablespoons Pepper Or Garlic And Herb Boursin Cheese
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
4 slices Thick Cut Bacon (diced Small)
1/2 Medium Onion, Diced Small
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
2 teaspoons All-purpose Flour
1/4 cups Seafood, Beef Or Chicken Stock
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
4 dashes Tabasco Sauce
1 pound Medium Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
Salt And Pepper

1
Preparation note: I did not include a recipe for the grits. Just make your favorite grits (usually with 1 cup grits and 4 1/2 to 5 cups water).
2
After the grits are done, add the 3 heaping tablespoons of boursin cheese and mix until combined to a creamy goodness. (I used stone ground grits. Those of you familiar with them already know how phenomenally good they are. They take an hour to cook so plan accordingly.)
3
In a large pan add 1 Tablespoon of oil and all the bacon. Over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, being careful not to burn. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and put on a paper towel-lined plate.
4
Pour out the oil in the pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the butter and heat with the onions until melted. Add the flour and cook 1 minute. Be sure to scrape the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the stock, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Stir until slightly thickened. If it is too thick, add a little water, a tablespoon at a time.
5
Add the shrimp and cook until no longer pink and the sauce is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Stir to coat all the shrimp with the sauce. Add the cooked bacon to the pan and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Add more hot sauce if desired.
6
Serve over hot cheesy grits.
