Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Delight in a dish that beautifully marries spicy, juicy shrimp with a velvety bed of cheesy, creamy grits. The shrimp sear quickly in a splash of olive oil and aromatic spices, while the grits are enriched with low-fat milk and a hint of tangy cheddar, creating a satisfying blend of heat and comfort.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp (raw, peeled)
1/3 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
In a small pot, bring water to a boil and stir in the stone-ground grits. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken (about 20 minutes). In the last few minutes, stir in the low-fat milk for extra creaminess.
While the grits are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Once the grits have reached your desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits onto a plate and top with the spicy, pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of pepper if desired.
