shrimp and grits

I received this recipe from a friend who uses it from the Lady and Sons cookbook.

2 strips bacon
1/4 c. onions, diced
2 c. uncooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 T. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. ketchup
1 t. worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 - 2 c. water
salt and pepper
shredded cheese
diced green onions
diced tomatoes

Fry bacon, remove pieces and set aside.  Saute onions in the bacon drippings until soft.  Add shrimp and stir 1-2 minutes.  Stir in flour until the shrimp is coated.  Add ketchup and worcestershire sauce and slowly stir in the water until it is at your preferred consistency for gravy.

Cook grits separately per package directions.  

Place grits on plate and drizzle shrimp mixture on top.  Add cheese, onions and tomatoes.

You may also cook the tomatoes with the onions and have them as part of your gravy.
