INGREDIENTS

6 oz Shrimp

0.25 cup Stone-ground grits

1 cup Water

0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt

1 tsp Ghee

0.5 cup Red bell pepper

0.25 cup Yellow onion

0.25 cup Celery

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and sea salt to a boil. Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits.

• 2

  Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are tender and the liquid is absorbed.

• 3

  While the grits cook, pat the shrimp dry and toss them in a bowl with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper until evenly coated.

• 4

  Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

• 5

  Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove from heat.

• 6

  Once the grits are finished, remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy, protein-rich texture.

• 7

  Spoon the creamy grits into a bowl, top with the Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
