Pan-Seared Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a Southern classic with succulent Cajun-spiced shrimp served atop a comforting bowl of creamy, cheesy grits. The dish marries the fiery notes of Cajun seasoning with the smooth, rich texture of grits, creating a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a medium saucepan, bring water (as per grits package instructions) to a simmer. Stir in the stone-ground grits and cook until creamy, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
During the last few minutes of the grits cooking, stir in the low-fat milk and unsalted butter to enhance creaminess.
Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and mix in the low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through.
Spoon a generous portion of creamy grits onto a plate and top with the pan-seared Cajun shrimp.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant blend of spicy shrimp and comforting grits.
