INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/3 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil (follow package instructions for the quantity of water required for 1/3 cup of dry grits). Stir in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the grits are creamy and tender, about 20 minutes. In the last few minutes, stir in the low-fat milk for extra creaminess.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sauté for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the spinach and a small pinch of salt. Sauté the greens for 2-3 minutes until they are just wilted but still vibrant.
To plate, spoon a serving of creamy grits onto the dish, arrange the sautéed greens over or alongside, and top with the Cajun shrimp. Enjoy this flavorful, balanced meal while it's warm.
