PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring one cup of water and the sea salt to a boil in a small saucepan.

  Whisk in the dry corn grits, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the grits are tender.

• 3

  While the grits cook, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  Add the diced bell peppers and yellow onions to the skillet, sautéing until the vegetables begin to soften and develop a slight char.

  Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and black pepper, then add them to the skillet.

• 6

  Sauté the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque, stirring in the minced garlic during the final minute of cooking.

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

  Spoon the creamy grits into a bowl and top with the zesty shrimp and vegetable mixture.
