I followed the recipe exactly and the grits turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong. The shrimp were cooked well, but the grits were a bit too thick. I think I would add more liquid next time.

These grits were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, but the grits were a bit too runny. Overall, this is a good recipe, but it needs a few tweaks.
