Description
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees 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. Stir in shrimp; cook until they begin to firm.

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.
