PREPARATION

1
In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil, then whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low.
2
Cover and simmer the grits for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid is absorbed and the texture is creamy.
3
While grits cook, toss the shrimp in a bowl with Cajun seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 4 minutes.
5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the seasoned shrimp.
6
Sear the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
7
Remove grits from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to reach a velvety consistency.
8
Serve the zesty shrimp and peppers over the warm grits and garnish with fresh parsley.
