What a great twist on a southern classic. A real work of art, Rick! I absolutely love what you did with the the grits, allowing them to gel, then frying them up into cakes.

YUM, YUM YUM!!!

Love Shrimp and grits.
You had me from the title until I saw the box of grits.
Once you have eaten a good quality stone ground grit like Anson Mills, you don't want the others. 
Again the dish looks great!

Billy has a point.  The "quick" grits are okay but they don't get creamy and luxurious like real stone-ground corn bits.  The real ones are a royal pain in the butt to cook, though.  Takes a long time with lots of stirring.  Sometimes you've got to make a trade-off.

If I am eating traditional grits I agree 100 percent. But since I was making cakes really wasnt worth the effort. ;)
