Pan-Seared Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor this bold twist on a classic southern meal featuring perfectly seared Cajun-spiced shrimp atop a silky bed of creamy grits. Each bite delivers a satisfying balance of spice and comfort, making it an ideal meal for a fulfilling dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces shrimp
1/2 cup dry stone-ground grits
1/4 cup nonfat milk
1 tsp butter
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In a small saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a simmer. Stir in the dry grits and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thickened and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
Once the grits have cooked, stir in the nonfat milk and butter until fully incorporated for extra creaminess.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Plate a generous serving of creamy grits and top with the pan-seared Cajun shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of spicy shrimp and comforting grits.
