Bobby Flay takes Southern-style Shrimp and Grits to the next level by adding sharp cheddar, bacon and lime juice in this easy recipe from Food Network.

Shrimp and Grits

water

Salt and pepper

grits

butter

cheddar cheese

shrimp,

bacon, chopped

lemon juice

parsley

scallions

garlic, minced

Bring water to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Add grits and cook until water is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheese.

Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Fry the bacon in a large skillet until browned; drain well. In grease, add shrimp. Cook until shrimp turn pink. Add lemon juice, chopped bacon, parsley, scallions and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes.

Spoon grits into a serving bowl. Add shrimp mixture and mix well. Serve immediately.

Between ease of preparation, outcome and simplicity of ingredients, this recipe was a winner all-round. My family loved it. One key was to use chicken stock for the grits instead of water. I could have spiced it up quite a bit more for my own taste, but kept it mostly as-is except substituted cilantro for the parsley and added chopped ham along with the bacon.

Very good and quite easy to make.  Better than mine but if you tell anyone I will deny ever having said that!

Absolutely delicious and so easy.  The only substitution I made was chicken broth rather than water for the grits. 

Super easy and delicious. Made exact first time and it turned out good. Second time I used chicken broth for my grits and they tasted amazing!!!! Going to make again but add in some red pepper and asparagus to the shrimp. A good basic shrimp and grits recipe that can easily be tweaked to each individuals liking.

This was our first time eating shrimp and grits.  This recipe is delicious and the meal was very easy to make.  It is a very rich dish and no one was able to enjoy a second plate!  We added some extra black pepper and a dash of hot sauce to the shrimp because we thought it needed a little heat.  NYers like shrimp and grits!

This was my bf's first time eating shrimp and grits. His response? "This is so *expletive* good!" Haha. This really is a delicious recipe, the only thing I added was a dirzzle of chili oil around the grits. Be ready for a nap when you finish eating. 

Excellent recipe. Didn't have fresh parsley, so I substituted Cilantro. I think it may be better with the Cilantro. Plan to add chopped green chilies to the grits next time. 

Very good and easy too.  I dusted the shrimp with Old Bay before sautéing in the bacon fat.  How can you go wrong?  The grits were cheesy and flavorful.  I will definitely make this again.  Quick easy meal.

One of the very few recipes I followed verbatim. Nothing needs to be changed - this recipe is INCREDIBLE!  Served with Paula Deen's collard greens for a spectacular meal!<div> </div>
