We love this. We make it probably a few times a month. I put a lot of tomatoes in there because I really like the sweetness with the shrimp and it makes more of a sauce that I pour over the grits. We usually use pepper cheese because we like the hotness.

The first few bites were good but then it was too rich and heavy for my husband and me.

This was good. However, DO NOT use Quaker brand instant grits. With the addition of the cheese, they were sooo salty, that I could barely eat it. However, with regular grits, this would be great. I did add the bacon and green onions like other reviews suggested which added great texture, flavor and crunch.

This was good and simple. I thought the tomato was too much. Used pepperjack instead. Couldn't find garlic cheese. Overall, we will make again!

Fantastic! I made the shrimp and sauce almost exactly, just added (1)tbs more of butter and EVOO and +2 more cloves of garlic. For the grits: added a pinch of cheddar and about 2oz. of cream cheese. Excellent.

This was pretty tasty, however all the shrimp and grits recipes I've tried, the grits aren't quite thick enough, maybe they just aren't meant to be.

This recipe is amazing! The only things I changed was to cook the grits in chicken broth and, because I didn't have the garlic cheese, I added about a cup of cheddar cheese and 2 tbsp of cream cheese into the grits. Talk about WONDERFUL! My husband got a small bowl at first thinking it wouldn't be good but was shocked how great it was. Of course he went back for seconds! I highly recommend this recipe!

I am giving this 5 stars because the shrimp mixture with the sauce is incredible and SO easy to make, however I used the Velveeta grits recipe the first time I made this and it was awful. As a Southern girl who knows a thing or two about grits, I recommend you use real cheese, a dash of garlic, and some cayenne for your grits...cook them really low and keep adding water and/or milk until you get a nice, smooth consistency. I don't really modify the shrimp portion of the recipe, except for adding a little extra garlic and some turkey sausage (since shrimp is so expensive). I make this weekly and my family loves it!

Oh.my.goodness. I was born and raised in GA and have never in my whole life heard of combining my two fave things ~ grits and shrimp. Knowing grits as a breakfast food and shrimp not so much...just didn't sound like a good combo. My husband went on a business trip to Missouri and came back saying that the dish was good. So...I tried it. I didn't have cayenne on hand, so I added a few shakes of Franks hot sauce (hey...I am in the south, I DO have hot sauce :))...and for cheese, I wasn't sure on what to get, so I use onion and chive cream cheese. I cooked the grits in chicken broth like someone suggested. Didn't use fresh tomatoes...but I had canned some tomatoes this past summer, so I used that. This is definitely a keeper!!! Yummy!

Great recipe and so easy to prepare. Like others, we didn't use garlic cheese. We also left out the tomatoes. We used frozen shrimp, so there was extra "juice" in the pan. We used some of that juice (about a cup) to cook the grits. Tasted great!

This recipe would probably have been 5 stars if I had used better shrimp. I made this on the fly & used frozen, which watered down the sauce way too much. Other than that, it was very good. Like another reviewer I could not find the garlic processed cheese so I used a Queso Blanco (white Mexican) Velvetta & it was GREAT. My husband doesn't like grits & he ate seconds, commenting that the added spice really made the whole meal taste great. Next time I'll use better shrimp, but we'll keep the queso cheese grits.

Excellent dinner recipe! I made it easier by having the shrimp deveined and peeled by the local supplier. My husband had 2 helpings! Even my two-year old liked it!

This dish was wonderful! I made it last night for my husband's birthday and he devoured it! I would suggest paring it with turnip greens and vinegar along with blue cheese corn bread! To save yourself some time, I would splurge and get the shrimp already deveined and peeled.

This was fabulous and so easy! I changed the servings to 6, but followed the recipe exactly. I think next time, I won't use as much oil. The entire family loved it! It will definitely be added to our monthly rotation!

Awesome recipe! Deserves 5 stars. I used a very small roma tomato because I didn't want a tomato taste to the sauce. I will definately make this again.

If you don't make this, your crazy!! I have to say that as many times as we've made it and for as many different pallets who've tried it, it has ALWAYS been a hit! I never found the garlic cheese, so I just added extra cloves to the sautéed tomatoes. Also, I always add extra tomatoes, cayenne pepper and cheese because it is sooo good!
