Enjoy a vibrant plate of spicy shrimp served over a bed of silky, creamy grits accented with a hint of low-fat cheddar. The dish packs a balanced hit of protein and healthy fats, with a spicy kick that perfectly complements the soothing grits for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp
1/4 cup dry Grits (yields about 1/2 cup cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 cup Water
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the dry grits and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken and become creamy, about 8-10 minutes.
Once the grits are cooked, gently stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and well incorporated.
Plate the creamy grits and top with the spicy shrimp. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for extra flavor. Serve immediately.
