Slow Cooker Low Country Shrimp and Grits

I just LOVE shrimp and grits.  It's such a comfort food to me.  This is nice because it's done in the slow cooker, so there's a little less maintenance.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-6 cups chicken broth
-3/4 tsp salt
-1 1/2 cups quick-cooking grits, uncooked
-2 Tbs butter
-1 green pepper, chopped
-1 red pepper, chopped
-6 green onions, chopped
-2 garlic cloves, minced
-1 1/2 lbs raw large shrimp, peeled, deveined, with tails removed
-1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
-1 1/2 cups shredded Provolone and Mozzarella
-2 (10 oz each) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Directions:
Mix broth, salt and grits into slow cooker.  Cook on low for 4 hours, stirring half way through.
When the 4 hours is about up, melt the butter into large skillet.  Saute green and red pepper, green onion and garlic for about 3-4 minutes.  Pour mixture into slow cooker.  Add tomatoes, shrimp, cheeses and cayenne.  Mix well.  Cover and cook on low for 2 more hours.  Enjoy!
