8 oz Raw shrimp

0.25 cup Dry stone-ground grits

1 cup Water

0.25 cup Low-fat milk

0.5 cup Bell pepper

0.25 cup Yellow onion

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp Sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and milk to a boil, then whisk in the stone-ground grits and sea salt.

• 2

  Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the grits are creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

• 3

  Once the grits are cooked, stir in the ghee and keep the pot covered off the heat.

• 4

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

• 5

  Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, sautéing until they are softened and slightly charred.

• 6

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

• 7

  Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and fully cooked through.

• 8

  Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.

• 9

  Spoon the warm, creamy grits into a bowl and top with the zesty shrimp and pepper mixture.
