Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Enjoy a vibrant mix of spicy, perfectly seasoned shrimp served atop a bed of rich, creamy grits. This dish combines the bold flavors of Cajun spices with the comforting texture of smooth grits, offering a balanced, satisfying meal that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp (raw, medium)
1/2 cup dry Stone-Ground Grits
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/8 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 tsp Butter
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 cup Water
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and dry grits. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent lumps.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the grits for about 15-20 minutes until they become thick and creamy. Stir in the low-fat milk, butter, and shredded cheese during the last few minutes of cooking to enhance creaminess.
While the grits are finishing, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy grits onto a plate and top with the Cajun shrimp. Garnish with additional seasoning or herbs if desired and enjoy immediately.
