Shrimp and Grits. Or: This isn't a food blog, I just eat a lot

Last night I made a ripoff version of the shrimp and grits at Zelko Bistro, one of my favorite dishes in Houston. I made some polenta, added a hefty dose of smoked cheddar (they use white cheddar), fried up some crispy bacon and topped it with some seared shrimp and chopped scallions. For the sauce I mixed some ponzu, honey and butter and warmed it in a pan then drizzled it around the edge of the plate. (They use a mix of soy and agave). I was very pleased with how it turned out. It was a damn good interpretation of it, and I actually chuckled at my own cleverness while I was eating. I'm so full of myself. And shrimp!
