Cajun Pan-Seared Shrimp with Creamy Grits
A flavorful, satisfying dish featuring perfectly spiced, pan-seared shrimp atop a comforting bowl of creamy stone-ground grits. The subtle heat of Cajun seasoning melds beautifully with the rich texture of the grits, making it a delightful option for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp
1/2 cup Stone-Ground Grits (dry)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Butter
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the stone-ground grits and cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent lumps. After about 5 minutes, stir in the low-fat milk and butter to achieve a creamy consistency. Simmer until the grits are soft and thick, about 10-12 minutes.
While the grits are simmering, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and lightly charred.
Plate a generous serving of creamy grits and top with the Cajun pan-seared shrimp.
Finish with an extra sprinkle of Cajun seasoning or a dash of freshly ground black pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
