Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a delightful fusion of zesty, spicy shrimp paired with comforting, creamy grits. This dish offers a vibrant kick from the spices balanced by the smooth, mellow texture of grits enriched with a touch of low-fat milk and Greek yogurt for added richness.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing and patting dry the shrimp. Season them lightly with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika to impart a spicy flavor.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Stir in the stone-ground grits and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the grits thicken, stirring occasionally.
For a creamier finish, once the grits are nearly cooked, stir in the low-fat milk and Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sear them for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Spoon a generous serving of the creamy grits into bowls, then top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of spicy seafood and comforting creamy grits.
