Spicy Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Delight in this vibrant dish featuring perfectly pan-seared spicy shrimp served atop a bed of silky, creamy grits. The dish balances a kick of cayenne and garlic with the smooth, comforting texture of grits, accented by a hint of Parmesan to enrich the flavor profile.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Grits
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
In a saucepan, bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Stir in the dry grits and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally until the grits thicken and become creamy, about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and let it sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the seasoned shrimp in the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Stir in the lemon juice into the shrimp, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Once the grits are ready, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for extra creaminess.
Spoon the creamy grits into bowls and top with the spicy pan-seared shrimp. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
