Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic Southern dish with succulent Cajun-seasoned shrimp served over creamy, low-fat grits enriched with a splash of milk, and complemented by lightly sautéed greens infused with garlic and olive oil. Each bite offers a pleasing blend of spice, creaminess, and fresh vegetable goodness.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp (tail-off)
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 cups Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Water
PREPARATION
Start by preparing the grits: In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of dry grits with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (around 10-12 minutes). Stir in the 1/4 cup low-fat milk during the last few minutes of cooking for added creaminess.
While the grits are cooking, toss the shrimp with 1 tsp of Cajun seasoning to coat evenly.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a small drizzle of olive oil and sauté the shrimp until they are opaque and slightly pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tsp olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt if desired.
Plate the creamy grits as a base, top with the Cajun shrimp, and finish by adding the sautéed spinach on the side. Serve immediately and enjoy this balanced dish!
