INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season them with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Stir in the dry grits, reduce heat to low, and simmer according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until thickened.
Once the grits are nearly done, stir in the skim milk and butter to create a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning as needed.
While the grits finish cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the seasoned shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
To serve, spoon a generous amount of creamy grits into a bowl and top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of extra Cajun seasoning or freshly cracked black pepper.
