Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband had eaten shrimp & grits many times while on business in South Carolina and always raved about how delicious it... was. I decided to try and make it for him at home and found this recipe. He proclaimed that it was delicious and tasted just like what he had eaten S.C. but only better. He liked the addition of the scallions - an ingredient that had not been in the shrimp & grits he had previously eaten. Easy to make, very filling and yummy!Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had been looking for a good shrimp and grits recipe when we saw this one on Food Nation. WoW!!!! The lemon at the end and... pan frying the shrimp in the bacon grease... WOW! What a taste!! Delicious! We used quick grits since that's all we had, but the star is definitely the shrimp. We used gulf coast pink shrimp. USA wild- Please support our shrimpers!!Read more

Very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Very tasty but too salty -- perhaps it was the brand of bacon.
