Killer Shrimp & Grits!!! (with pictures)

Aight... So, after combing this forum, I believe I found the perfect grits recipe posted by The Cen-Tex Smoker. Here is his recipe:

Jalapeno Garlic Cheese Grits 

Ingredients:         

3 Cups Water         

3/4 Cups Quick Grits         

16 oz Mild Mexican Velveeta         

3 Cloves Garlic, Minced         

2 Eggs         

Cayenne To Taste         

1 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Bring water to boil, add grits & reduce heat to medium low Cover and cook 5 - 7 minutes, stirring occasionally Add next 3 ingredients and stir over low heat until cheese melts Remove from heat and let cool slightly Add beaten eggs to grits and stir until well combined Pour into 9 x 13 inch casserole and top with cheddar Bake 30 - 40 min until golden and bubbly 

Based on his other suggestion in the original post, I substituted one can of diced green chilli peppers and regular Velveeta cheese in place of the Mexican Velveeta.

For the Shrimp, I attempted to blacken on the Small BGE in an iron skillet using only butter and blackening seasoning. See below for pics:

Grits are ready to bake!

Shrimp Time!

Blurry final pic... I was so excited to eat them that I rushed the pic and didn't look at it first!

They may not look very good in the final picture, but they were the best shrimp and grits I have ever ate!

Really enjoying this forum! Thanks to everyone who helps to make it so great!

Quick grits and eggs?! The horror!

My Charlestonian self just lost lots of respect for Cen Tex.

Looks fantastic nonetheless. Great job.

Now Eggcelsior you came to that without even meeting him. I have and I can tell you his wife is the bomb.

@mickey, I truly believe she is. If the woman makes the man, never was a case more true.

All in jest, of course. Especially if she is playing with knives at Salado.

I'd hit that plate, quick grits and all!
