Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a satisfying plate of Cajun-seasoned shrimp served atop creamy grits. Juicy shrimp are sautéed to perfection in a touch of olive oil, then infused with bold Cajun spices. The grits, enriched with a splash of skim milk and a hint of butter, provide a smooth, comforting backdrop that perfectly balances the spice of the shrimp.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup dry quick-cooking grits
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tsp butter
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp chopped green onion
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Bring water to boil according to grits package instructions. Stir in the 1/2 cup of dry grits and gently simmer, stirring frequently, until creamy (about 5-7 minutes). In the last minute, mix in the skim milk and butter for extra creaminess.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Plate a serving of grits in a bowl or on a plate, then top with the sautéed shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve immediately.
