Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Grits
Sautéed shrimp tossed in zesty Cajun spices served over a bed of velvety stone-ground grits with colorful peppers and onions.
INGREDIENTS
0.25 cup stone-ground grits
1 cup water
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.5 tbsp grass-fed butter
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
7 oz shrimp
0.5 cup bell pepper
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 whole garlic clove
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp green onion
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring the water and sea salt to a boil, then whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low.
Cover the grits and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed and the texture is creamy.
While the grits cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 60 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Once the grits are finished, stir in the grass-fed butter until fully melted and incorporated.
Spoon the creamy grits into a bowl and top with the Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
