Fresh Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Savor the bold flavors of Cajun-seasoned shrimp served atop a silky bed of creamy grits. This dish marries the briny sweetness of shrimp with rich, cheesy grits, accented by a hint of olive oil and a dash of spice, creating a comforting yet vibrant meal perfect for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp
1/4 cup dry Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 ounce Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the grits: In a small saucepan, bring water (or a mix of water and a bit more milk if desired) to a gentle boil. Stir in the 1/4 cup dry grits and reduce heat. Allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the grits are nearly done, stir in the 1/4 cup low-fat milk and 1 ounce of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the grits are creamy.
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and toss with the Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of creamy grits onto a plate and top with the Cajun shrimp. Optionally, finish with an extra sprinkle of Cajun seasoning and a grind of black pepper.
