Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Succulent shrimp sautéed in smoky Cajun spices served over a bed of velvety, protein-rich grits for a comforting and savory Southern-inspired meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Raw shrimp
0.25 cup Stone-ground grits
1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
0.25 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp Olive oil
0.5 cup Bell pepper
0.25 cup Yellow onion
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth and sea salt to a boil.
Whisk in the stone-ground grits, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed.
While the grits cook, dice the bell pepper and yellow onion, and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper in a small bowl until evenly coated.
Add the seasoned shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Once the grits are finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until the texture is velvety and smooth.
Divide the creamy grits into serving bowls and top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
