Shrimp
Add bacon to a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat and render until crispy, about 6 minutes. Quickly add shallots and garlic. Sweat until vegetables are limp, about 30 seconds. Add wine, shrimp, and water. Cook until shrimp begin to turn pink, about 6 minutes. Add thyme, green onions, mushrooms, and butter. When butter has melted, adjust seasonings and serve over warm grits.
Grits
Bring water, milk and butter to a boil in a medium pot set over medium-high heat. Slowly add grits, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper and keep warm until ready to serve.
