Spicy Bell Pepper Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor a delightful blend of spicy sautéed shrimp and crisp bell peppers over a bed of creamy, velvety grits. This dish perfectly balances the fiery zest of shrimp with the gentle, comforting creaminess of grits, making it a harmonious meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Shrimp
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
0.33 cup dry Grits
0.5 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Chicken Broth
0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper
0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season lightly with salt, pepper, cayenne, and smoked paprika.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Push the bell peppers to the side and add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
Meanwhile, bring chicken broth to a simmer in a small pot. Stir in the grits gradually, stirring continuously to prevent lumps, and cook until the grits thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the grits are creamy and cooked through, stir in the butter and season with a little salt and pepper.
Plate the creamy grits first, then top with the spicy bell pepper shrimp and sautéed peppers. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra smoked paprika if desired, and serve warm.
