Keto Shrimp and Grits Recipe

For the Shrimp:

1. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pan.
2. Allow butter to melt in the drippings before sautéing onions until tender.
3. While the onions are sautéing, season the shrimp with cajun seasoning and toss in seasoning before setting aside.
4. After that, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
5. Finally, add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes per side before removing.
6. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock and lemon juice, scraping up all of the flavors that have accumulated at the bottom.
7. Stir in the whipping cream, then season with chicken bouillon and cajun seasoning to taste. Because of the seasonings, the sauce should be slightly orange in color.
8. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer and thicken for 10 minutes. If the sauce is still too thin for your liking, thicken it with a bit of flour or cornstarch. Allow it to cook for another minute or so before turning off the heat.
9. Return the shrimp to the pan and coat it with the sauce. Then top with bacon and parsley.

For the Grits:

1. Cook mashed cauliflower in the microwave according to package directions.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the contents, then whisk in the butter, both cheeses, heavy cream, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

To Serve:

1. Spoon grits into a bowl, then top with shrimp and sauce, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
