Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Grits
Sautéed shrimp tossed in zesty Cajun spices served over a bed of velvety, stone-ground grits for a comforting and savory soul-food classic.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Large shrimp
0.25 cup Stone-ground grits
1 cup Water
0.5 tbsp Grass-fed butter
2 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt
0.5 cup Red bell pepper
0.25 cup Yellow onion
1 tsp Olive oil
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring the water and sea salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
Whisk in the stone-ground grits, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the grits are tender.
While the grits are simmering, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking for 1 minute until highly fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and well-coated in the spices.
Once the grits are finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in the grass-fed butter and Greek yogurt until the texture is smooth and creamy.
Spoon the warm grits into a shallow bowl and top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp and pepper mixture.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and black pepper before serving immediately.
