    Very flavorful and wonderful creamy texture! Next time I will use Spanish chorizo instead of Mexican chorizo, as the Mexican chorizo has a higher fat content and made it very greasy.

    OMG!?! This was SOOO good and really interchangeable with what you have on hand! Especially for a girl on a budget and you don't have to buy fresh shrimp to make the stock - You can use chicken stock and frozen shrimp so it's easy on the wallet and quicker to make!! Growing up in Nebraska we never had grits or chorizo on the table. So if you are a virgin with grits please take the time and cook them how Paula showed in the video! It does make them more creamy, smooth and oh so fabulous!! The leftovers were great and I am going to make this again soon. I can't wait!! YUM-O!

    Great recipe. Can't go wrong with Shrimp and grits. I gave it 5 stars to be fair even though I had to substitute some of these mexican ingredients. I didn't have Chorizo sausage so I used Bob Evans and pre-seasoned it with cumin, chili powder and cider vinegar as a dry marinade. Used cheddar monterey jack instead of pepper jack Velveeta cheese. We all went back for seconds and stuffed ourselves. Can't wait to compare it with the original recipe and with rice too.

    LOVE This! And so does the rest of my family!
    I'm not a grits person, but when I saw how Paula cooked these, I just had to give it a try. And I must say that I was pleased. :

    This is delicious! Paula is one of the most dependable sources I have for great recipes - and the only one I trust to get a recipe right the first time out. I actually used chicken stock, and forgot the chorizo, and it was still a wonderful dish!

    I decided to make it for company and cut the time, so I made garlic cheese grits ahead of time which bakes in the oven and can be made a head and heated when ready to serve. I bet it would be great over fried polenta also and I am going to try that next.

    As for the shrimp part, I thought that went quickly and was very easy. This is a great dish and I am going to serve it again this Saturday to friends.
