INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil (use about 1.5 cups of water for the grits). Stir in the grits, reduce heat, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes).
Once the grits are nearly done, stir in the skim milk and butter to create a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until the shrimp are opaque and slightly caramelized.
Spoon a serving of creamy grits onto a plate and top with the Cajun shrimp. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if desired, and serve immediately.
