INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp, deveined
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/2 cup Skim Milk
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (parsley, cilantro)
Pinch Cayenne Pepper
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the grits. In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of dry grits with water (as per package instructions) and bring to a simmer. Stir frequently and cook until the grits are soft and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
During the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the 1/2 cup of skim milk and the teaspoon of unsalted butter to enrich the texture of the grits.
While the grits are finishing, season the shrimp with a pinch of cayenne pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chopped fresh herbs to further infuse flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of creamy grits onto a plate and arrange the spicy herb shrimp on top. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
