Fresh Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Delight in succulent Cajun-seasoned shrimp served atop a bed of creamy stone-ground grits enriched with a touch of half-and-half and a sprinkle of Parmesan. This dish marries smoky spices with a velvety texture, offering a balanced and flavorful meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp
1/3 cup stone-ground grits (dry)
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring 1 cup of water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir in the stone-ground grits, reduce heat to low, and gently cook while stirring frequently for about 20-25 minutes until creamy and thickened.
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and season evenly with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the seasoned shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Once the grits have reached a creamy consistency, stir in the half-and-half and Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the Cajun shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of spice and creaminess.
