Yummy . . . yummy . . . yummy. The ultimate comfort food. Made it a one-pot meal (no need to bake) by cooking peppers, onions, and garlic in a large sauce pan first. Then cooked coarse ground grits ("Georgia ice cream") in the same pan with the sauted vegies. It's impossible to find a fresh shrimp in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, so I thawed out cooked, shelled, deveined shrimp. Plucked the "stems" and zapped them in the microwave for a few seconds, topping the individual bowls of cheese grits with shrimp. The grits alone were divine for breakfast the following day.

We reduced the amount of peppers in order to make it edible (we are pansy-Mexicans) and it was still hot! It was still good -- the grits we super-creamy!

Good flavor, but very salty. Plus, I used only 3 cups of chicken broth instead of 4.

I made this dish for dinner tonight. Though it was tasty, I wasn't thrilled by the flavor. I agree with other reviewers that omitting the salt is a must-do. Even without salt I found it to taste a bit salty. It looked very pretty, however, and the consistency was nice. I'd probably make this again but I don't think it will be a staple.

I do have to reiterate about the grits vs. cornmeal. They are not the same!! Please do not use cornmeal in this recipe. Also, I would like to agree with the reviewer who adds crispy bacon. I fry it first, then crumble over top. That is how it is served in restaurants here in southeast N.C.

This was a great recipe. If you have never tried shrimp & grits give this recipe a try. I added some andouille sausage to kick it up a bit and it turned out good.

If you are looking for one more reason to eat shrimp, look no further. Your quest is over. I tried the grits mixture prior to adding the shrimp. It is good enough to stand on it's own. But how does one say "No" to a step that calls for adding shrimp? Too, I agree w/Karine (Dec 2008) this mix cannot be limited to shrimp. I'm thinking fajita marinated chicken or steak. And also w/PantherLover (Jan 2009) bake it or don't bake it. It's terrific either way. Thank you, William A. you certainly earned the "A".

Mmmm,mmmm good! I followed this recipe to the "t" as far as the ingredients. Instead of mixing it all together, I put the shrimp mixture on top of the grits. I never eat grits unless its at breakfast with sugar. I'm glad I gave this a try!

This was truly delicious and not at all difficult to put together. It was pretty salty, even with the use of reduced sodium chicken broth.

I had some leftover cheesy grits so I just added those to the the sauteed veggies and heated through. I didn't even bake it. Delicious and ridiculously easy! I was shocked by what great flavor this had without a lot of ingredients. This will go into the rotation for sure!

WOW! Easy to put together and great flavors! I'm not much of a "spicy" fan, but this was just right. I did reduce the liquid by a cup but, other than that - Great!

WOW! This was one of my favorite dishes at a local restaurant when we lived in Atlanta. What a wonderful find, I think it was even better than the restaurant version. Husband LOVED it and coming from a real Southerner that was quite the compliment. THANKS!!!!

I made this twice last week! First just to try it and then again on Sat. for a baby shower brunch. They loved it! I used 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, drained the tomatoes and you only need 1/2 the can or it may be too spicy for some (and I like spicy.) I added 3 eggs (tempered) to the grits before adding all the other ingredients. I also added 1/2 lb bacon fried and crumbled to the mixture. I sauteed the veggies in some of the bacon fat. Yummy! I am sharing this with others who have asked for the recipe!

Use THREE cups of chicken broth to ONE cup of grits - NO NEED TO BAKE! -after all ingredients are combined in the grits pot, add shrimp and eat after they turn pink - super delicious! We use Ro*tel tomatoes for a spicy kick.

Delish!! My husband loved this. It will become a part of my regular rotation. Based on some reviews that the dish was a bit runny, I reduced the chicken stock from 4 cups to 3 1/2 and drained the tomatoes. I also added turkey sausage and some cayenne pepper. Finally, I had cooked shrimp instead of raw, so I added them 10 minutues before I took the dish out of the oven.
