INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp (raw, deveined, tails on)
1/2 cup dry Grits
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the dry grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy.
While the grits simmer, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Stir the teaspoon of unsalted butter into the finished grits for extra creaminess, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the pan-seared shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Cajun meal.
