INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 teaspoon Butter
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
PREPARATION
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the shrimp with the spice mix and lemon zest to coat evenly.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in the dry grits, reduce the heat, and let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When grits begin to thicken, stir in the low-fat milk and butter until creamy and smooth.
While the grits are cooking, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Taste and adjust the seasoning of the grits with a pinch of salt if needed. Serve the spicy pan-seared shrimp atop a bed of creamy grits, and enjoy this balanced, flavorful dish.
