INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp
1/4 cup Quick Grits (dry)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 teaspoon Butter
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Bring water to a boil in a small pot, then stir in the dry grits according to package instructions. For creamier texture, substitute part of the water with low-fat milk.
Once the grits begin to thicken, stir in the low-fat milk and butter to enhance creaminess. Reduce heat and let simmer until the grits are fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
While the grits are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Plate a serving of creamy grits and top with the spicy Cajun shrimp. Garnish with an extra pinch of Cajun seasoning or freshly ground pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
