Enjoy a zesty twist on classic grits with succulent Cajun-spiced shrimp served atop creamy, low-fat milk-infused grits. This dish boasts a comforting, velvety texture, balanced with a light kick of Cajun spices, making it a perfect meal for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Shrimp
0.5 cup dry Grits
0.5 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup Water
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In a small saucepan, combine the water, low-fat milk, and grits. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, and then reduce the heat to low. Stir frequently to prevent lumps and ensure a creamy consistency. Cook until the grits have thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
While the grits are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Taste the grits and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits onto a plate and top with the Cajun shrimp. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish!
