PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring the water and sea salt to a boil in a small saucepan, then whisk in the stone-ground grits.

• 2

  Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer the grits for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the texture is tender.

• 3

  Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt until the mixture is thick and creamy.

• 4

  While the grits cook, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

• 5

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

• 6

  Toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and add them to the skillet along with the minced garlic.

• 7

  Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and fully cooked through.

• 8

  Stir in the lemon juice and black pepper to deglaze the pan and coat the shrimp in the flavorful juices.

• 9

  Divide the creamy grits into a bowl, top with the zesty shrimp and vegetable mixture, and garnish with fresh parsley.
