INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 tsp Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the grits by bringing water to a boil in a small pot. Stir in the grits and a pinch of salt, reduce heat and let simmer while stirring occasionally until thickened (about 15-20 minutes).
In the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the low-fat milk and butter to achieve creaminess. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat once the grits reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss them with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and sear for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Spoon a generous serving of creamy grits onto a plate and top with the pan-seared Cajun shrimp.
Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of spicy, creamy goodness.
