STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Meanwhile, melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in green onions, bell pepper, and garlic; cook until peppers have softened, about 5 minutes.

4

Stir in shrimp; cook until they begin to firm.

5

Stir shrimp mixture, tomatoes, Monterey Jack cheese, ¾ cup Cheddar cheese, and black pepper into grits; pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup Cheddar cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, 30 to 45 minutes.
