Blackened Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Experience a vibrant twist on a Southern classic with succulent, spiced shrimp served atop velvety creamy grits. The shrimp is expertly blackened with a smoky spice blend, perfectly complementing the rich, buttery texture of the grits and a subtle hint of low-fat milk that ties the dish together.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp
1/2 cup Stone-Ground Grits (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Blackening Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the blackening seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until the shrimp turns pink and the edges are slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the pre-cooked grits with low-fat milk and butter. Stir over medium heat until the mixture becomes creamy and heated through. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto a plate and top with the blackened shrimp. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
