Shrimp & Grits with Roasted Red Bell Pepper

In 2006 I vacationed with my cousin Laure at her condo on the beach, where we made this dish. Garlic, green onions, and fresh thyme are sautéed in butter and then simmered with the grits, chicken broth, and a bit of heavy cream. Roasted bell peppers, feta cheese, and shrimp finish the dish. That day we used Royal Reds, a deep-water variety of shrimp found in the Gulf.
