INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup quick grits
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1 tsp butter
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp olive oil
1.5 cup water
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season them with Cajun seasoning, ensuring an even coating.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the quick grits, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits have thickened (about 5 minutes).
Once thickened, stir in the low-fat milk and butter for a creamy texture. Keep warm on low heat.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the Cajun shrimp. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of extra Cajun seasoning or chopped herbs.
Serve immediately and enjoy your satisfying and flavorful dish.
