1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter

In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Saute mushrooms in hot drippings for 5 minutes or until tender. Add green onions and continue to saute for additional 2 minutes. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and garlic and saute until shrimp are slightly brown. Stir in 1/4-1/2 cup chicken stock, lemon juice and hot sauce. Let this simmer. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring water, 1 cup of chicken stock, half-and-half, and salt to a boil. Gradually stir in grits and reduce heat, stirring often, 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Add cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and butter and mix until well blended. In bowls, spoon in a serving of grits. Top with shrimp mixture. Crumble bacon and serve on top.
