Zesty Cajun Shrimp and Creamy Grits
Sautéed shrimp seasoned with bold Cajun spices served over a bed of velvety, stone-ground grits enriched with Greek yogurt for a satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz raw 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 clove garlic
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring water and sea salt to a boil, then whisk in the grits.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
While grits cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in minced garlic and shrimp, then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and black pepper.
Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Once grits are done, remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Bowl the creamy grits and top with the zesty Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
