Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor a vibrant and hearty dish featuring spicy, pan-seared shrimp paired with silky, creamy grits. This recipe balances a kick of heat from cayenne and garlic with the comforting richness of butter and low-fat milk mixed into the grits, creating an irresistible blend of flavors perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
0.5 cup dry Grits
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
0.25 cup Low-Fat Milk
0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season lightly with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil (follow package instructions for 0.5 cup grits, using the recommended water-to-grits ratio). Stir in the dry grits and reduce heat to a simmer.
Slowly stir in the unsalted butter and low-fat milk to the grits, cooking until they reach a creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
While the grits are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and slightly charred.
Serve the spicy shrimp atop the creamy grits and garnish with a lemon wedge. Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp for an added fresh, zesty finish.
