Spicy Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits and Fresh Sautéed Greens
Savor the vibrant flavors of this dish where succulent Cajun-spiced shrimp nestles atop a creamy bed of stone-ground grits blended with tangy nonfat Greek yogurt. Fresh spinach lightly sautéed with garlic and olive oil adds a burst of color and nutritious crunch to every bite.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry stone-ground grits
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch of Cajun seasoning
1 clove garlic (minced)
Salt to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt.
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan and stir in the dry grits. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken (about 10-12 minutes). Once done, stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture.
While the grits are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook just until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a little salt if desired.
In a separate pan or using the same skillet once the greens are done, lightly sauté the seasoned shrimp over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and fully cooked.
Assemble the dish by layering the creamy grits on a plate, topping with the sautéed spinach, and then arranging the Cajun shrimp on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of spicy, creamy, and fresh flavors.
