Cook grits according to package directions. Stir in cubed cheese and cayenne pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and tomato in hot butter-oil mixture until tomato begins to soften. Stir in shrimp and lemon juice. Sauté until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque. Season with salt.
