  1. This satisfied my craving. Thanks!
     
  2. Oh my, was this good!! I added some garlic and a splash of white wine to the shrimp as I was cooking it and it was wonderful. This dish is really nice for company but it's also good southern comfort food.
     
  3. I made this for my family and they absolutely loved it. That is actually my photo up on this site. I added minced garlic and used yellow and green peppers. I also added andouille sausage. I have made this recipe at least 5x
     
  4. This was my first experience cooking grits and it came out beautifully. I did not have milk so I<br/>subbed heavy cream, with a little extra chicken stock to cut the richness a bit. Skipped the bell pepper and swapped a thinly sliced shallot for the onion since it was what I had on hand. This dish is so incredibly rich, flavorful, and comforting on a cold, snowy evening in the Midwest. I will definitely make this again switching shrimp out with more veggies so my husband who hates seafood can enjoy it too. I feel like this would be tasty with fresh cut corn tossed in and some fresh parsley. Thank you for sharing this inspiring southern dish.
     
  5. This recipe is awesome! I used 1/2 cheddar and 1/2 pepper jack cheese with jalapenos. Just<br/>enough heat. Thanks so much!
