Took my brand new SL October issue to my Mom's over the weekend. When I saw the recipe and that is was a lighter healthy version - we decided to make this dish. It was absolutely fabulous and very easy to make. My brother happened to be visiting also and said this recipe is definitely a keeper.

YUMMY! I thought it should be 5 star, but my husband voted for 4 star. Neither of us have any experience with grits, so I probably didn't cook it right; they were kinda runny, but tasted delicious. The shrimp, though, was killer! This was easy, fast and very good. Served with a simple salad. Good meal!

Very good, and only took 35 minutes start to finish (which included shelling the shrimp). I will definitely add this to our weeknight rotation. Have to admit, though... I added some extra parmesan cheese and about a 1/4 cup of my kids' whole milk to make the grits creamier. And a couple dashes of hot sauce. So a little extra fat... but not too much. Still very healthy!

Wonderful recipe! Made it last night and the whole family raved about it and there were no leftovers. I added some grated lemon zest and the sauce was very buttery and lemony. Delicious!!
Great recipe!
