INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp, peeled and deveined
0.5 cup dry grits
0.25 cup skim milk
0.25 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp paprika
0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the dry grits, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Once the grits are nearly done, stir in the skim milk and low-fat cheddar cheese, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Keep warm on low heat.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a bowl, sprinkle shrimp with paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sear for about 1-2 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque.
Just before finishing, drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp for a fresh zing.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the spicy, pan-seared shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy the fusion of spicy and creamy flavors.
