Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a soulful blend of spicy, succulent shrimp paired with luxuriously creamy grits. The shrimp are perfectly seared in a touch of olive oil with bold spices, and served atop a comforting bed of slightly buttery grits, creating a balanced dish that teases the palate with every bite.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Quick-Cooking Grits
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the shrimp with half of the spice mix to evenly coat.
In a medium saucepan, bring water (as per grits package instructions, usually about 2 cups per 1/2 cup dry grits) to a boil. Stir in the grits and a pinch of salt, then reduce heat to low.
Gradually whisk in the unsweetened almond milk and the teaspoon of butter, stirring continuously until the grits turn creamy and reach your desired consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
While the grits are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned shrimp. Sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until they are pink and cooked through.
Plate a generous portion of creamy grits in a bowl or plate, then top with the spicy, pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of the spice mix if desired.
