Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring succulent, spicy shrimp nestled atop a bed of velvety, creamy grits. This recipe combines the perfect balance of heat and comfort, delivering a satisfying meal with a zesty kick and a smooth, rich mouthfeel from the butter-kissed grits.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp (cooked)
1/3 cup dry Quick Grits
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season them with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and sear for about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
While the shrimp is cooking, bring water (or a mix of water and almond milk for extra creaminess) to a simmer in a small pot. Stir in the quick grits and reduce heat to low. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the grits have thickened, stir in the butter and remaining almond milk to achieve a rich, creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with an extra pinch of cayenne or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
