INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
In a small saucepan, combine the stone-ground grits with water (follow package directions for liquid amount) and bring to a simmer. Stir in the low-fat milk and cook until the grits are creamy and tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer.
Sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of creamy textures and spicy, succulent flavors.
