INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Grits
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1 tsp Butter
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
2 tbsp Scallions
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them in Cajun seasoning, adding a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the dry grits. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits are tender and have absorbed the water, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the skim milk and butter to the cooked grits for a creamy texture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
While the grits are finishing, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the seasoned shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Spoon a serving of creamy grits onto a plate and top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp. Garnish with fresh chopped scallions and serve immediately.
