INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Shrimp
1/4 cup Stone-Ground Grits (dry)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1.5 cups Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring 1.5 cups of water to a simmer in a small saucepan, then stir in the 1/4 cup of dry grits and a pinch of salt.
Reduce heat to low and gently simmer the grits, stirring occasionally, until creamy and thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and devein the shrimp if needed and pat dry with paper towels.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and pan-sear for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly golden.
Once the grits have reached a creamy consistency, stir in the 1/4 cup of low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and well incorporated.
Plate a serving of the creamy grits and top with the garlic pan-seared shrimp.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmony of savory shrimp and comforting, cheesy grits.
