Amazing! I adhered to all the directions and ingredients, except I added a little more lemon juice and some white wine to the sautéed mixture. So easy, quick, and delicious! I will definitely be making this again!

Excellent, tasty recipe! Unfortunately, I could not find stone ground grits so I settled for quick cooking grits. To make up for that, I used shrimp stock instead of water in the grfits. I used the shrimp shells to make a stock. It was well worth the time. This is certainly a keeper recipe.
