Steps:
- Start with the grits. Bring a medium saucepan filled with 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Whisk in the sea salt and grits. When mixture just starts to simmer again, whisk in milk and butter. Turn heat to low and cover with the lid slightly askew. Cook, stirring often, for about an hour. (Grits tend to stick to the bottom of the pan in the beginning, so do check and stir often.) If more liquid is needed, add up to 1/2 cup more milk.
- While grits cook, thaw shrimp in a large bowl under a trickle of cold running water. When they've thawed enough to handle (about 10 minutes), peel the shrimp, reserving the shells.
- In a large saucepan, combine the shrimp shells, onion, carrot, 2 cloves garlic, kale stems, 2 sprigs thyme, bay leaves, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and peppercorns. Add just enough cold water to cover ingredients (about 1 quart) and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to a simmer until broth is needed for the greens.
- If desired, devein the shrimp - here's a good guide.
- Mince remaining 2 garlic cloves and set aside.
- Set a 10-inch cast iron or other deep-sided, heavy skillet, over medium/medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons butter and half the shrimp. Sprinkle with sea salt, Old Bay, and fresh ground pepper. Cook just until shrimp are pink with golden edge, 1 - 2 minutes per side. Remove cooked shrimp to a large plate. Continue for remaining shrimp, adding additional pats of butter as needed.
- Strain broth with a wire mesh strainer.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the same pan. Add minced garlic, cook 1 minute, and then add the greens. Add a small pinch sea salt and a few twists pepper. Sauté 5 minutes. Add 1 cup broth, stirring greens while broth reduces. Fold in shrimp, add salt, pepper, and Tabasco to taste.
- Swirl cheese into grits. Taste and add sea salt as needed.
- Spoon grits into shallow bowls and top with greens, shrimp, and a ladleful of broth. Garnish with remaining thyme sprigs. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk grits into the boiling water, and then whisk in half-and-half. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until grits are thickened and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Sprinkle shrimp with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Add lemon juice, toss to combine, and set aside to marinate.
- Place sausage slices in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet.
- Add bacon to the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until evenly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, then chop or crumble when cool enough to handle. Leave bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Add bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the bacon drippings; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.
- Stir cooked sausage and marinated shrimp into the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, stirring to create a smooth roux. Turn heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is golden brown in color, 8 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully, mixture burns easily.
- Pour the roux over the sausage, shrimp, and vegetables. Place the skillet over medium heat, add chicken broth, bacon, and Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine. Cook until sauce thickens up and shrimp turn opaque and bright pink, about 8 minutes.
- Just before serving, mix sharp Cheddar cheese into grits until melted and grits are creamy and light yellow. Serve shrimp mixture over cheese grits.
