Cooking instruction summary:
Fry bacon until crispy in a skillet/saute pan. Place on paper towels to absorb grease & let cool. Set the skillet/saute pan that you just fried the bacon in aside; you will use it again next. Cut the bacon into small pieces: Now would be a good time to start boiling your water for the grits. Pour the bacon grease out of the pan except for about a tablespoon. Over medium heat, cook shrimp, mushrooms & garlic, stirring until shrimp just begin to turn pink--approximately 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning & pepper (to taste) while you're cooking the shrimp. Add onions & bacon, stirring & cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Boil 5 cups of water in large saucepan. Once water is boiling, slowly stir in grits, salt & red pepper. Reduce heat to low & cover to simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened. During last 5 minutes of cooking, add cheeses and stir. Serve shrimp mixture over grits
