Yum! I used chive and onion cream cheese and a little garlic powder instead of the garlic cheese spread. Everything else stayed the same.

This was so easy and delish! We really do not eat that processed cheese stuff so I used 1 c. shredded cheese instead. I also cooked the grits in 2 c. chicken broth, 1 c. half & half per previous reviews but added 3/4 head of crushed garlic (we LOVE garlic). It was so good even the children ate it right up.

Um, delicious! Love this dish! I used Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese. Boursin was just too expensive for an experiment. Shrimp cooked in butter and oil was fabulous!

Your grits are too crunchy! Grits cooking ratio is 4 to 1. Four cups liquid to one cup grits, and you have to boil them alot longer than five min,,at least 15 to 20 min. But the cheese and garlic is a great idea.

I subbed low sodium chicken broth for the water when making the grits, and light garlic and herb cheese. Other reviewers had mentioned sautéing a leek with the shrimp and since I had one lonely leek in the fridge I decided to follow their lead. After sautéing the shrimp I added chicken broth and seeded, quartered cherry tomatoes to make a bit of a sauce. Tasty and quick, I will definitely make this shrimp dish again.

Loved this recipe, only change I made was to use a different cheese flavor because I don't like garlic.

Awesome recipe and super easy to cook for an after work dinner meal. Plus the garlic cheese spread in the grits created an amazing flavor. The only thing I would have done differently (and I did) was add Old Bay seasoning to the shrimp. Cause how are they low-country without this seafood staple.
