INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp (raw)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/3 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1 tsp Butter
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season lightly with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the stone-ground grits with water (use a ratio according to package instructions) and bring to a simmer. Stir frequently to avoid lumps.
When the grits begin to thicken, stir in the skim milk and a teaspoon of butter to create a creamy consistency. Season with a pinch of salt.
Once the grits have reached your desired creaminess, plate a portion and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp.
Garnish with an additional sprinkle of black pepper if desired and serve immediately.
