Southern Shrimp and Grits

From www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/southern-shrimp-and-grits/ reduced to 2 servings. I didn't use Cajun seasoning nor green onions. I was out of Cheddar Cheese and substituted Aged Havarti and we liked it better. Also, I screwed up and put the garlic in the grits, but tasted great!
