Directions:

Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir in grits; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Boursin cheese until combined; cover and set aside.

While grits are cooking, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, garlic and shrimp and saute for 2 minutes. Then add tomatoes and cook 2 more minutes, or until shrimp turn pink (a sign they are cooked through). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Divide warm grits among shallow bowls. Using the back of a spoon, make an indentation in each serving and top with 1 cup of shrimp mixture.
