This was good”how could it not be with the huge amount of butter (one cup for four servings)”but not extraordinary. I'm not sure that just sautÃ©ing the shrimp in a smaller amount of butter wouldn't be fine.

I used some strong chicken stock for the grits. This lent them a rather unpleasant color. Think I'd stick with water or milk or very dilute chicken stock to do this again.
Used lardons for the bacon.
