Pan-Seared Spicy Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic coastal dish where succulent shrimp are seasoned with a kick of spice and perfectly seared, then served atop a bed of creamy, comforting grits enriched with a touch of low-fat milk and butter. This meal offers a satisfying harmony of spicy, savory flavors with a creamy, smooth texture that's both energizing and palate-pleasing.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz shrimp
1/2 cup dry grits
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1 tsp butter
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp dry and season with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil and stir in the dry grits. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits begin to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the low-fat milk and butter into the grits, continuing to cook on low heat until fully creamy and the grits have softened further, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the pan, and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of creamy grits onto each plate and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with an extra pinch of cayenne or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
