INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup Quick-Cooking Grits (dry)
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1.5 cups Water
PREPARATION
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Toss them gently with Cajun seasoning.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits, reducing the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits thicken and are creamy.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and butter into the grits until fully melted and incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy cheesy grits into a bowl and top with the pan-seared Cajun shrimp. Enjoy immediately.
