Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to give off their juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until the tomatoes are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add scallion whites and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the tomato mixture into the grits. Pat shrimp dry. Wipe out the pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook, flipping once, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Serve the shrimp over the grits, sprinkled with scallion greens.
