Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor the vibrant flavors of plump, spiced shrimp paired with silky, creamy grits that have been elevated with a hint of low-fat milk and a touch of butter. The Cajun seasoning adds a subtle kick, making this dish a well-rounded, satisfying meal perfect for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/3 cup dry stone-ground grits
1/3 cup low-fat milk
1 tsp unsalted butter
1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them with Cajun seasoning to coat evenly.
Bring water to a gentle boil in a saucepan, then whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the grits begin to thicken.
Stir in the low-fat milk and unsalted butter into the grits. Continue to cook on low heat until the grits are creamy and smooth.
Meanwhile, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Plate the creamy grits into a bowl or plate, then top with the Cajun shrimp. Serve immediately for a warm and comforting meal.
