  4. In the same skillet, add shrimp and sauté over medium heat for about 3 minutes until pink.
  5. Stir in lemon juice, remaining butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, green onions, and bacon. Cook for 1 more minute.
  6. To serve, spoon cauliflower grits onto plates, top with shrimp mixture, and garnish with parsley if desired.
