Blackened Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor this vibrant dish featuring succulent blackened shrimp paired with luxuriously creamy grits accented by a touch of skim milk, light butter, and a sprinkle of reduced-fat cheddar for added depth. The spicy, smoky kick from Cajun seasoning enhances the natural sweetness of the shrimp while the smooth grits provide a comforting backdrop.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup cooked grits
1/4 cup skim milk
1 Tbsp light butter
1 oz reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them with Cajun seasoning to ensure even coating.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are slightly charred, then remove from heat.
In a separate pot, prepare the grits according to package instructions. As the grits begin to thicken, stir in the skim milk and light butter to achieve a creamy consistency.
Once the grits are fully cooked, stir in the reduced-fat cheddar cheese until it melts smoothly.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the blackened shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of spicy shrimp and rich, velvety grits.
