INGREDIENTS

8 oz raw shrimp

0.25 cup stone-ground grits

0.5 cup water

0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

• 2

  Whisk in the grits and sea salt, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the texture is creamy.

• 3

  While the grits are simmering, pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and toss them in a small bowl with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

• 5

  Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

• 6

  Add the minced garlic and the seasoned shrimp to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly curled.

• 7

  Once the grits are finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in the plain Greek yogurt until fully incorporated and velvety.

• 8

  Spoon the creamy grits into a shallow bowl, top with the sautéed shrimp and vegetable mixture, and garnish with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
