Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Savory Grits
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic grits topped with perfectly pan-seared, spicy shrimp. The creamy, low-fat milk-infused grits carry just the right amount of savory butter and garlic, while the shrimp is enlivened with a kick of chili and cayenne, finished with a sprinkle of fresh scallions for an extra burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp, raw
1/4 cup stone-ground grits (dry)
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1 tsp butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped scallions
PREPARATION
Begin by rinsing and patting dry the shrimp. Season them with salt, black pepper, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in the 1/4 cup of dry grits and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits thicken.
During the final few minutes of cooking the grits, stir in the low-fat milk and butter to create a creamy consistency, then season with a pinch of salt.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and allow it to lightly sauté for 30 seconds.
Place the seasoned shrimp in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
To plate, spoon a serving of the creamy grits onto a dish and arrange the spicy shrimp on top. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately.
