I found the shrimp to be a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

The grits were a bit too runny for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer.

I used old bay seasoning instead of cayenne pepper, and it gave the dish a delicious seafood flavor.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne pepper from the recipe. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp leftover from a party, and this was the perfect way to use them up.
