INGREDIENTS
6 oz Raw Shrimp, Deveined
1/2 cup Stone-Ground Grits (Dry)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Pinch of Smoked Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 clove Minced Garlic
2 tbsp Chopped Green Onion
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium chicken broth with minced garlic to infuse flavors.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits. Lower the heat and let the grits simmer, stirring frequently, until they become creamy (about 15-20 minutes). During the last few minutes, stir in the light cream cheese until well incorporated.
While the grits cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. In the final minute, add the infused chicken broth mixture to the skillet to deglaze and add extra flavor.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the spicy shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve immediately.
