From our grandmother, Hilda Dorman. A family favorite featured in our own family cookbook. This classic Shrimp & Grits recipe can be found on the back of every grits bag we produce here at Palmetto Farms.

Picked up this bag of grits at the Rice Museum in Georgetown, South Carolina. This is the BEST shrimp n grits recipe – I’ve sampled quite a few!

I prefer to use red and yellow bell peppers because I think they taste better. In addition, I use Creole Seasoning (Tony Chacheres) instead of the hot sauce. Been making this type of Shrimp & grits for well over 10 years and they are great!

What kind of cheddar cheese is preferred for most shrimp and grits recipe? Mild? Medium? or Sharp?

Deliciousness. Just made this recipe and it was to die for. Best shrimp and grits I have ever eaten.

I love these grits and I’m a YANKEE! I was converted to these yummy savory grits years back when visiting a NC beach. I love Shrimp and Grits and theirs are perfection!

As a girl from the south, I’ve been cooking grits for nearly 50 years! Palmetto Farms Grits are by far the BEST I’ve ever made or cooked. And the shrimp and grits recipe has made my better half (who’s from California) a huge fan. In fact, he specifically asked that I prepare this recipe for Christmas Eve!

One of my favorite recipes ever! Delicious yet easy. Restaurant quality at home.

Excellent recipe for a good fast meal.

Excellent Shrimp and Grits Recipe! The grits were creamy and had an delectable flavor. I didn’t include the cheese – just saving a few calories! Will definitely pass this recipe to my family.

This is our all-time favorite Shrimp n’ Grits recipe! I’ve made this many times and will continue to do so! Absolutely divine!

Love the recipe. It is my favorite shrimp and grits. I omit the cheese and it is still flavorful.

I eliminated the cheese because of dietary restrictions. Best recipe and every time I find Palmetto grits I buy a bag or two.

I love these grits! I send them to friends and family. To the recipe on the back…..I add about a cup full of sliced grape tomatoes. Delicious! I add them just after the shrimp goes in. You can sprinkle your green onions and some cheddar cheese over the top. It’s a beautiful dish.

This recipe is the BEST shrimp & grits- Ever! I followed the recipe on the back of the grits bag. I don’t want to piss off my N.C. friends,( I once stopped in S.C. for Bar-B-Que & my Aunt in N.C. stayed mad at me for years), but these S.C. grits are great!! So glad I bought a bag heading out of Charleston, in a little country store, going back to Florida. Thank You!

This is my favorite meal. I add 3 hot Italian sausage links removing the casing first and breaking it apart. Cook with bacon and onion then add shrimp. Palmetto white stone ground grits are the best!

This is the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever eaten! I love to make it for family and friends.

This is our go-to shrimp and grits recipe. The grits are just the right texture and the dish is absolutely delicious!
