INGREDIENTS
6 oz Raw Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
2 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and peel the shrimp if necessary, and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small saucepan, combine the stone-ground grits with water and unsweetened almond milk. Bring to a simmer and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the grits are creamy and have thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in 1 tsp of butter near the end of cooking for extra creaminess. Season with a pinch of salt.
While the grits are cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper as they cook.
Once the grits are ready, stir in the remaining 1 tsp of butter and adjust seasoning if needed.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits into a bowl or plate, and top with the spicy herb sautéed shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and a light sprinkle of black pepper.
