Zesty Cajun Shrimp and Creamy Grits
Sautéed Cajun-spiced shrimp served over creamy stone-ground grits, featuring a vibrant medley of bell peppers and onions that offer a smoky depth to every bite.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz raw shrimp
0.25 cup stone-ground grits
1 cup water
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup bell pepper
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup celery
1 tsp salt-free Cajun seasoning
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring the water and the sea salt to a boil.
Whisk in the stone-ground grits, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the grits are tender.
Once the grits are cooked, stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt to create a velvety, rich texture.
While the grits simmer, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced bell pepper, yellow onion, and celery to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Toss the raw shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper in a small bowl, then add them to the skillet.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and stir in the chopped fresh parsley to brighten the flavors.
Spoon the creamy grits into a shallow bowl and top with the zesty shrimp and vegetable mixture.
