INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup Dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Lowfat Cottage Cheese
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season lightly with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and whisk in the dry grits. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the grits are tender and have absorbed the water, about 15-20 minutes.
Once the grits are nearly done, stir in the lowfat cottage cheese to add creaminess, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the teaspoon of unsalted butter. Once melted and sizzling, add the seasoned shrimp.
Sear the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and cooked through.
Plate a serving of the creamy grits and top with the spicy seared shrimp. Serve immediately.
