Sweet And Savory Shrimp And Grits

• 1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
• 1/4 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded fontina cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup minced yellow onion
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 pound shrimp (21 to 25 per lb.), peeled, deveined
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 3 green onions, green parts only, sliced

1. Cook grits according to package instructions. Stir in cheeses and butter, plus salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
2. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute onion until it begins to soften but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add peppers and a pinch each salt and pepper, then cook until tender-crisp, 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in brown sugar and wine. Increase heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Add shrimp; cook until just curled and pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Stir enough hot water into grits to make them soft and spoonable. Spoon 2 tbsp. warm grits onto each of 10 to 12 small plates. Top each with 2 shrimp, 1 tbsp. pepper-wine sauce, a sprinkle of parsley, a few green onion slices, and, if desired, Brown-Sugar Bacon Bites, crumbled.
4. Note: Nutritional analysis does not include Brown-Sugar Bacon Bites.
