Shrimp Gravy over garlic cheese grits

This can easily be made for dinner!!! Shrimp gravy is low country cooking at its best!!!

I bag of large or jumbo shrimp, thawed and shells removed
Four slices of cooked bacon, crumbled and set aside
Bacon drippings
Two slices of American cheese or a handful of cheddar cheese
1tbl of garlic powder
1tbl of flour
Small container of mushrooms sliced
2tsps of chopped garlic or more to your liking
1tbl of butter or more to your liking
2 cups of water (measure this out, as you may not need all the water)
Garlic salt

Make the grits according the instructions on the box. Add the cheese, garlic powder, butter, salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Saute mushrooms and garlic in the bacon saved bacon grease for about 4 minutes. Add the flour, stirring constantly.

Add water little by little, until you get a nice brown gravy and it starts to thicken and get a silky look to it.

Add your shrimp and cook until the shrimp turns pink, add garlic salt and pepper. Serve over the grits with the crumpled bacon sprinkled on top. Wow!!
