INGREDIENTS

8 oz shrimp

0.25 cup stone-ground grits

1 cup water

0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1 tsp ghee

0.5 cup red bell pepper

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp green onions

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the grits are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

• 3

  While the grits cook, heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 4

  Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

• 5

  Toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper in a small bowl, then add them to the skillet along with the minced garlic.

• 6

  Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred on the edges.

• 7

  Once the grits are finished, remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until the texture is smooth and creamy.

• 8

  Portion the grits into a bowl, top with the sautéed shrimp and vegetables, and garnish with lemon juice and sliced green onions.
