Enjoy a perfectly balanced dish of succulent Cajun-seasoned shrimp served atop a bed of creamy, comforting grits. This meal boasts a vibrant kick from the spices, while the grits provide a smooth, rich base, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Large Shrimp (approx 170g)
1/2 cup Stone-Ground Grits (dry, approx 40g)
1 cup 2% Milk (approx 244g)
1 cup Water (approx 240g)
1 tsp Unsalted Butter (approx 5g)
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them in a bowl with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
In a medium saucepan, combine the stone-ground grits, water, and 2% milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent clumping.
Once the grits begin to thicken (after about 10-12 minutes), stir in the teaspoon of unsalted butter to enhance the creaminess.
While the grits are finishing, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Spoon a serving of creamy grits into each bowl. Top with the cooked Cajun shrimp and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the top for a bright, tangy finish.
