    When I first saw the show I thought I'd never heard of such a thing. By the way I grew up in Texas by the Louisiana border. My "Mother Dear" (grandmother taught me tolerance and patience, so I made a batch. C'mon Sandra Lee, I followed your recipe but I did not cook up the shrimp part because I didn't want to waste the seafood. I am so glad that I didn't. The grits had a funky taste to it, I am used to grits being buttery and creamy. I use mayonaise in my potato salad, devilled eggs, sandwhiches, chicken salad but never again in my grits. Funny thing is I do not think that you are alone, I now live in Washington State it was our last duty station. I am always amazed at what Washingtonians called Southern or Mexican food. Since Sandra Lee is from Washington I am not going to hold her personally responsible for bad southern cooking, She just doesn't know any better.

    A small amount of mayonnaise in grits makes them very creamy. My friends and family from Charleston swear I make the best Shrimp and Grits they've ever tasted and this is the recipe I always use!

    Sandra Lee is not a Southern Cook. I have been making Shrimp and Grits for over 40 years, and NEVER put mayonnaise in the recipe. She needs help from a REAL SOUTHERN LADY.

    I make grits often and had never heard of mayo in the grits (she called it a Southern secret ingredient which I respectfully disagree with. I made them shortly after seeing this episode and I am sorry to say they did not taste good at all. I would not recommend them.

    Guess I'll have to try this. I've lived my entire life (60 years in the south and never heard of putting mayo into grits. So whether it tastes good or not - definitely not southern.
