  • sarahawker on May 11, 2022

    Very good use of any cooking green. Added a dash of hot sauce.

    Excellent recipe, made almost as written, but with rice instead of grits, worked well.

• Southern cheese grits with tomato conserve and shrimp

  • sarahawker on May 11, 2022

    Pretty good. Quite sweet.

• Prosciutto and tomato shrimp and grits

  • sarahawker on December 16, 2025

    This is very mild. Ended up mincing a jalapeño, probably would not make again.

• Circa 1886's shrimp and antebellum grits

  • babyfork on June 14, 2020

    I just made the grits portion of this recipe (I used the Lee Bros. recipe for the shrimp part). I used Anson Mills Yellow Quick Grits - Antebellum Medium. I added 2 oz of cream cheese in addition to cheddar cheese (I used Tillamook medium cheddar). These were really good but did get quite thick. But delicious with the shrimp and tomato sauce.

• Maverick Southern Kitchens' shrimp and grits

  • sarahawker on August 08, 2014

    Quite good and flavorful recipe. I did not have the country ham but had a bag of misc. ham scraps, some thick cut bacon in there, it worked well, all other ingredients were on hand.

• J. Bistro's creamy Cajun ham, shrimp and grits

  • sarahawker on May 11, 2022

    Used leftover Easter ham so upped the salt a tiny bit. Very good traditional flavor.

• Jim Epper's shrimp and grits with country ham and red-eye gravy

  • sarahawker on May 11, 2022

    Made for Easter brunch. Noted not to use as much butter in the grits next time. The red eye gravy is a fun departure from tradition.

  • sarahawker on May 11, 2022

    Really good classic shrimp and grits. Rich with addition of cream. Easy and comes together quickly.
