Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor the delightful contrast of spicy, perfectly pan-seared shrimp atop a bed of creamy, cheesy grits. This vibrant dish combines the heat of cayenne and paprika with the smooth richness of reduced-fat milk and cheddar cheese, creating a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup Quick-Cooking Grits (dry)
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Milk
1 oz Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Butter
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small pot, bring 1.5 cups of water and the reduced-fat milk to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the dry grits, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Once the grits are cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese and butter until melted and incorporated. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside, keeping warm.
Pat the shrimp dry and season with cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sear for about 2 minutes per side until they are opaque and slightly caramelized.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with a light sprinkle of additional paprika or fresh herbs if desired.
