I had this at s party catered my a chef from Texas. It was fabulous yet I couldn’t find any recipes that seemed right. I only made one change – I used cheddar cheese because I think it has a much better flavor. It turned out great and the family loved it. Next time I’ll add some crumbled bacon to make it more like the recipe I had before. Thanks for sharing.
This was really good. I did cook my grits in milk, it makes a huge difference on the flavor and richness of the meal. I will add an extra green onion next time, just personal preference. The only thing I added was some old bay seasoning. This is a keeper for sure. Be great with some nice crusty bread on the side.
I’ve been looking for a shrimp and grits recipe up here in Misery (Missouri). This was by far the best that I’ve found on here. Didn’t change a thing (well maybe I wanted a little more heat and added a bit more Cayenne to it) other than that. I was well satisfied with the outcome.
This is totally delicious, very rich and satisfying. The only change I made was to crumble one slice of cooked bacon into the shrimp as it cooked since I did not have any cheese sauce. I will definitely make this again…. soon!
was Great, did add red bell pepper and used chicken broth to cook rice. Need to add old bay seasoning.

Just before serving, mix 1/4 cup butter into the cooked grits, followed by processed cheese. Mix thoroughly until creamy and cheese is melted. Season with salt and black pepper.

Double, triple recipe as needed. This recipe is enough to serve 2 people generously but will easily convert to more servings.
