This recipe was a total fail. The grits were lumpy and the shrimp were rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a fan of shrimp, but I loved these grits! They were creamy and cheesy and so flavorful. I would definitely make this again, even without the shrimp.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the grits were creamy and flavorful. I would make this again, but with less cayenne pepper.
