Pan-Seared Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a delightful fusion of spicy Cajun-seasoned shrimp paired with rich, creamy grits. This dish balances robust and zesty flavors with the comforting, smooth texture of grits, making it a satisfying meal perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp, raw, deveined
1/4 cup Instant Grits (dry)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk (2%)
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning to evenly coat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the grits. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil (use the package's recommended water-to-grits ratio). Stir in the instant grits and reduce heat to low.
Mix in the low-fat milk and a teaspoon of unsalted butter into the grits, stirring continuously until they become creamy and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Plate a serving of creamy grits, and top with the pan-seared Cajun shrimp. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced dish of spicy shrimp contrasted with silky, comforting grits.
