INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup Stone-Ground Grits (dry)
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss shrimp with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the stone-ground grits and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until the grits are creamy and have absorbed most of the water (about 20-25 minutes).
Stir in the skim milk and shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked grits until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the pan-seared Cajun shrimp. Garnish with additional black pepper or a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
