8 oz large shrimp

0.25 cup stone-ground grits

1 cup water

0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt

1 tsp olive oil

0.5 cup bell pepper

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.

• 3

  Simmer the grits for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until they are tender and the liquid is absorbed.

• 4

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

• 5

  Add the diced bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

• 6

  Pat the shrimp dry and toss them in a small bowl with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper.

• 7

  Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.

• 8

  Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

• 9

  Once the grits are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

• 10

  Divide the creamy grits into bowls, top with the zesty shrimp and vegetable mixture, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
