Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Delight in a vibrant twist on a classic comfort dish, where succulent, spicy shrimp are pan-seared to perfection and served atop a silky bed of creamy, stone-ground grits. This dish balances a kick of heat with creamy richness, creating a meal that's both satisfying and energizing.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Shrimp, Deveined
1/2 cup Stone-Ground Grits (dry)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in the stone-ground grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy. In the final few minutes, stir in the low-fat milk for added creaminess.
While the grits are cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of creamy grits onto a plate and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of red pepper flakes and a grind of black pepper if desired.
