In a medium saucepan, bring broth and water to a boil; generously season with salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Whisk in grits and cook, whisking constantly, until grits have absorbed liquid and are very tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in cheese and butter until melted; season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a cutting board. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat. Chop bacon into small pieces.

In a large bowl, toss shrimp with garlic, oregano, and paprika; season with salt. In same skillet over medium heat, cook shrimp, turning occasionally, until pink and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate.

In same skillet over medium heat, cook tomato paste, stirring, until paste darkens, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and is reduced by about half, 4 to 5 minutes; season with salt. Return shrimp to skillet and toss to combine. Stir in scallions and lemon juice.

Divide grits among plates. Top grits with shrimp, sauce, bacon, and more scallions.
