Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic comfort dish where succulent, spicy shrimp meet a serving of smooth, creamy grits. The interplay of zesty seasonings and rich textures creates a satisfying and balanced meal perfect for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Raw Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup Quick-Cooking Grits (dry)
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1/4 tsp Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, combine the quick-cooking grits and low-sodium chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes until the grits thicken and become creamy. Adjust consistency with a splash more broth or water if needed.
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt, pepper, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, and sauté briefly until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
Plate a serving of creamy grits in the center of the dish and arrange the spicy pan-seared shrimp on top or alongside.
Finish with an extra light sprinkle of salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
