PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and the sea salt to a boil.

• 2

  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.

• 3

  Once the grits are cooked, stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt to create a velvety, rich texture.

• 4

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

• 5

  Add the diced bell pepper, yellow onion, and celery to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and stir in the chopped fresh parsley to brighten the flavors.

• 9

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