I'm not a fan of shrimp, but I loved this dish! The grits were creamy and cheesy, and the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend it.

This recipe was a disaster! The grits were lumpy and the shrimp were rubbery. I'm very disappointed.

The shrimp were overcooked and the grits were too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a very well-prepared and flavorful dish.
