Spicy Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring succulent, spicy Cajun shrimp served over a bed of silky, creamy grits. Perfectly balancing the heat of Cajun spices with the comforting smoothness of grits, this meal delivers a delightful mix of textures and bold flavors, making it a satisfying option for a hearty dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz shrimp
1/2 cup dry grits
1/4 cup skim milk
1 tsp butter
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them in Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in the dry grits and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits are creamy and thickened (about 20 minutes).
Once the grits are nearly finished, stir in the skim milk and butter to achieve a rich, creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
While the grits finish cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and cooked through.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of creamy grits onto a plate and top with the spicy Cajun shrimp. Enjoy your flavorful dish!
