INGREDIENTS
5 oz shrimp (raw)
1/2 cup dry instant grits
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 oz light cream cheese
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season evenly with Cajun seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in the dry instant grits and cook according to package instructions, typically 5 minutes of simmering.
Once the grits are cooked, stir in the light cream cheese until fully incorporated for a creamy texture.
Plate the creamy grits and top with the pan-seared shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavor-packed, protein-rich meal.
