This dish masterfully balances bold flavors and textures in a satisfying and healthy meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp
1/3 cup dry Quick-Cooking Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil (using the recommended water-to-grits ratio on the package) and stir in the dry grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the grits are thick and creamy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the low-fat milk at the end for extra creaminess.
Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Once cooked, drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp for a burst of citrus flavor.
Spoon a serving of creamy grits into a bowl or plate and top with the spicy shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful mix of spicy and creamy textures.
