Healthy Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor a vibrant twist on classic grits topped with perfectly seasoned Cajun shrimp. This dish combines the creamy comfort of stone-ground grits enriched with a splash of almond milk and a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar, with succulent shrimp sautéed in olive oil and bold Cajun spices for a delightful burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
1/2 cup Stone-Ground Grits (dry)
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and cooked through.
Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in the dry grits, reduce heat to low, and simmer according to package instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the grits have thickened, stir in the unsweetened almond milk and low-fat cheddar cheese until well incorporated for a creamy texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Plate a serving of the creamy grits and top with the Cajun shrimp. Serve hot and enjoy the blend of spicy shrimp with smooth, cheesy grits.
