  In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

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

  Simmer the grits for 15 to 20 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the texture is creamy.

  While the grits cook, pat the shrimp dry and toss them in a small bowl with the Cajun seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.

  Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  Once the grits are finished, remove them from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
