1 tbsp Fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and unsweetened almond milk to a gentle boil.

• 2

  Whisk in the stone-ground grits and sea salt, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy.

• 3

  While the grits are simmering, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 4

  Add the diced red bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet, sautéing until they are softened and slightly caramelized.

• 5

  Pat the shrimp dry and toss them in a small bowl with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper.

• 6

  Add the seasoned shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

• 7

  Once the grits are tender, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to achieve a velvety texture.

  Spoon the creamy grits into a shallow bowl, top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
