For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce to the shrimp while they're sautéing. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can be added as a garnish to elevate the presentation. If you prefer a smoother texture, use quick-cooking grits. Feel free to substitute the garlic flavored cheese with regular cheese and add extra garlic to the grits.
