Directions

1 In 3-quart saucepan, heat water, salt and corn to boiling. With wire whisk, gradually beat in grits. Return to boiling, beating constantly. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in onions and cream cheese until well blended. Cover to keep warm.
2 Meanwhile, in 10-inch heavy skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir about 2 minutes or until garlic is lightly browned. Add shrimp; cook and stir 4 to 6 minutes or just until shrimp are pink. Stir in seafood seasoning, chipotle chiles and tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium; simmer uncovered 2 to 3 minutes or until tomatoes are thoroughly heated.
3 Divide grits mixture evenly among 4 large soup bowls; spoon shrimp mixture evenly over top.

Made this and everyone loved it..I'm not a fan of red-eye gravy, so this was a great alternative.

Different, tasty, and easy to prepare. I made mine with yellow corn grits, did not use the chipotle chiles, and used chives instead of green onions. This is one of those dishes you can substitute what you have and it still comes out delicious.
