Savor the perfectly pan-seared Cajun shrimp atop a bed of velvety creamy grits, infused with a hint of butter and low-fat milk. This dish combines zesty spices with a comforting texture, creating a balanced meal that delights both your palate and nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Large Shrimp (deveined)
0.5 cup Stone-Ground Grits (dry)
0.25 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
In a small pot, combine the stone-ground grits with water (or a mix of water and a splash of low-fat milk), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently until thick and creamy, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, stir in the low-fat milk and butter for added creaminess.
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry. Season evenly with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the pan-seared Cajun shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy and creamy blend of flavors.
