Grilled Shrimp & Cheesy Bacony Grits

I had initially planned on using the shrimp for another dish, but wanted something different. Someone suggested Shrimp and Grits, so here is my version. It came out fantastic, was a huge hit with the little men in my life! Woohoo! Hope you love it as much as we did!

Thanks 
Monica
