    The Shrimp and Grits were good - I've never had them before so I don't have anything to compare it against. The only downfall, in my opinion, was that the grits themselves were extremely rich. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious, but just too rich for me. I should have halved the cream and compensated with more broth. Also, I used old fashioned grits, and I'm not sure if it's because the recipe called for cornmeal, but with the two cups of broth my grits were extremely thick. I added less sausage (actually used soy chorizo from Trader Joes and my kids devoured this meal :

    Delicious. I added a little kick by sprinkling the Andouelli (whole foods with a little cayenne because we like spice. Came out perfect. Didn't change anything else. My girlfriend has made this before and she recommended Chorizo. Can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow. It took much longer then 15 minutes for prep. By the time I prepped everything it took me about 40 minutes then add cooking time. I bought med-large shrimp at Whole Foods since they were on sale and I like pink shrimp so it took a little longer to do the peeling. I did by the white cornmeal and it was great. It was local GA and purchased at Whole Foods. I was hesitant and almost went for the grits, but VERY glad I got the cornmeal as it tasted just like grits and same consistency. They should come out thick because you add them to the sauce and then mix. There is a lot of liquid in the sauce so I wouldn't add more like some reviewers recommended. It would be way too soupy then. I made for my husband and I. The kids picked the shrimp out since they are still young and a little picky. They liked it. Made a ton so next time I'll make for guests. I highly recommend.

    Wow!!! So flavor-full. Fixed it for my wife. The only bad part is now I will have to cook more often. I used 5 minute grits and it turned out great.

    Added grated cheddar & jack cheese to grits and nice sprinkle of garlic powder...best EVER. Added minced bell pepper with onion & garlic. Tried about 1/4 tsp cayene pepper but more would be better or hot sauce if that's your preference. This is a KEEPER. Oh yeah, I didn't have any sausage so simply omited.

    I have always been facinated with the idea of this dish and tried it last night. I halved it for my husband and I and used only skim milk in the grits.
    Actually I used polenta I think they are the same thing. It had a great flavor and was comfort food at its finest.

    This recipe is the best I have ever had for shrimp and grits. I LOVE the grits! I cooked everything like the recipe said and it was perfect. I made this recipe at least once a month. I even like the leftover grits with the sauce whether there are any shrimp left or not! There is restaurant here that has shrimp and grits as their speciality and theirs do not even come close to being as good this recipe! As usuall, another winner from Tyler Florence!!!

    This is an absolute hit! Use Farmer John's Habenero Hot Sausage...it comes in a one pound role and makes this recipe go off the charts! The sweet grits with the heavy cream is the perfect complement...and don't forget the green onions. You guy will go gaga!

    Easy and very good. We added a half pound of bay scallops with a pound and a half of shrimp. It came out great!

    I was born in the south and believe when I say this is the best Shrimp and Grits recipe I have every had. My children who were born in the north are hooked. This recipe is now a family Holiday staple for brunch. even my daughter that "hates' grits love the recipe. Tyler Florence you hit the Jackpot with this one.
