Ingredients

4 slices bacon
5 green onions (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
16 ounces medium shrimp (raw, peeled, and deveined)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
Dash of hot sauce
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels; crumble it when it has cooled. Add the chopped onions to the bacon grease in the skillet, and cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook until it is fragrant. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and pepper, and then add them to the skillet. Cook the shrimp until they are just starting to turn pink, about 3 to 4 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk the flour into the broth. Pour the broth over the shrimp, bring just to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens. Stir in the lemon juice, and serve immediately over My Secret Cheese Grits.
