1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat, covered. Uncover and slowly whisk in the grits, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Nutritional Yeast and 1 tablespoon butter. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, season the shrimp with Benoit's Spicy Cajun Seasoning. Melt the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic and cayenne, if using, and cook, tossing, until the shrimp are pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and parsley; stir to coat the shrimp with the sauce.
Divide the grits among shallow bowls and top with the shrimp and sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.
