I was disappointed with this dish. The shrimp were overcooked and the grits were bland. The red-eye gravy was the only part of the dish that I enjoyed.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the grits were creamy and smooth. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I loved this dish! The grits were creamy and smooth, and the red-eye gravy was delicious. I would definitely make this dish again, but with chicken instead of shrimp.
