Really good. I used red pepper flakes because I was out of cayenne. Great for any meal of the day.

I've had shrimp and grits appetizers in upscaled seafood restaurants down here, but never made it myself. I just made my grits according to my box directions. I did use my homemade chicken broth in lieu of water, and added some half and half to get them extra creamy. I couldn't find a garlic cheese, so used Monterey Jack and a bit of cheddar. I grated the cheese so it would melt better. I also used canned tomatoes since the market didn't have any good tomatoes and it turned out just fine. I did add some green onions and fresh garden parsley, and seasoned the shrimp with Old Bay, paprika, and a dash of cayenne and of course the fresh minced garlic. This was just so darn delicious. So creamy and cheesy and shrimpy...how can you go wrong. Mine was even better than the restaurant's. Thanks AWEAVER.

I'm giving this a 5 star because it's absolutely delicious and reminds me of sitting by the water in Savannah. It's comfort food!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I try variations of shrimp and grits from adding sausage to adding crab meat. Those are more time consuming so I liked the simplicity of this recipe. I have never used lemon juice in my shrimp and grits, but I liked the twist it gave the sauce. The only thing I did different was to use a 1/2 cup of light cream along with 1 1/2 large chicken cubes to 3 1/2 cups of water (my grits called for 4 cups of water to 1 cup of grits) and I skipped the cheese altogether. I also added about 1 tbsp of cilantro to the shrimp and crumbled some turkey bacon on top just before serving. Muy delicioso.

The grits were fanastic. I used chicken stock instead of water. Also, I couldn't figure out what garlic cheese spread was. After looking all over the grocery store, found Allouette brand garlic cheese spread. Just dumped the whole container in with the cooked grits. Delicious.

I made this for dinner about a week ago.. I did make some changes like leaving out the tomato since my boyfriend and I don't like them. I also used garlic powder and mild cheddar in the grits rather than a spread... I also put a chicken bullion cube in the water when I made the grits and added about 1/4 cup of cream and a tablespoon of butter to the grits... but he absolutely loved it... will be adding this to my rotation,...
