Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a gourmet twist on a Southern classic with plump, spicy pan-seared shrimp nestled atop velvety creamy grits. This dish balances the kick of red pepper flakes with the subtle creaminess of low-fat milk and a hint of sharp cheddar, giving you a satisfying meal with vibrant flavors and a comforting texture.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces raw shrimp
1/3 cup dry grits (approx. 40g)
1/4 cup low-fat milk (2%)
0.5 ounce sharp cheddar cheese
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and stir in the dry grits. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Mix in low-fat milk and cheddar cheese during the last few minutes for a creamy consistency.
While the grits cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Spoon the creamy grits into serving bowls and top with the pan-seared shrimp.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired. Serve hot.
