INGREDIENTS
8 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup Quick-Cooking Grits (dry measure)
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
In a small saucepan, combine the quick-cooking grits with water (or a mix of water and almond milk for extra creaminess) according to package instructions. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently until the grits are thick and creamy.
Once the grits are nearly done, stir in the unsweetened almond milk and butter for added richness. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, cook the seasoned shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Plate a serving of creamy grits, then top with the Cajun shrimp. Sprinkle grated Parmesan and fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Healthy Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits.
