INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp
0.5 cup dry Grits
0.25 cup Skim Milk
1 teaspoon Butter
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped Green Onion
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp dry and toss in Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Bring a pot of water to boil. Stir in the dry grits and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until grits begin to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the skim milk and butter into the grits for a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning as needed.
While the grits are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and slightly charred on the edges.
Spoon the creamy grits into a bowl or plate and top with the spicy blackened shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onion if desired, and serve immediately.
