INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup cooked Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 tsp Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing your grits. In a small saucepan, combine the stone-ground grits with water as per package instructions. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally until the grits are tender and creamy.
When the grits are nearly done, stir in the low-fat milk and butter to add creaminess. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and cover.
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds to infuse the oil without burning the garlic.
Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with a light sprinkle of additional red pepper flakes if desired, and serve immediately.
