Yum!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this for the first time. Not only was it super easy to make, it was super delicious! I accidentally bought sharp... cheddar cheese so it made the grits a little rich, but it was still really good. Will definitely be making this dish again.Read more

A Keeper! :)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My very picky 3 year, who almost never finishes his food unless he really likes it, gobbled this meal down in no time! My... husband, who is not so much picky-but will be honest about how something tastes, loved it as well and asked that I print it out and keep it in my recipe box. I even messed up and put a little too much lemon juice than the recipe calls for on accident, and didn't cook the grits right, but it still come out THAT good!Read more

What!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had shrimp and grits once before but this recipe topped the restaurant version. This was THE best meal. I made it for... dinner last night with a spring salad. It was unbelievably DELICIOUS! I used a dash of red pepper flakes and an 8th of a teaspoon of Cajun seasoning to the shrimp and bacon saute. It was so good, I even took a bowl for lunch today. Read more

Delicious!

I have never had shrimp and grits before, so I have nothing to compare, but I thought it was wonderful! I served the shrimp... over the cheese grits, and the flavors were outstanding. It makes a beautiful presentation and I can easily see serving this dish to company.Read more
