Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Sautéed shrimp seasoned with smoky Cajun spices served over a bed of velvety, stone-ground grits for a comforting and soul-warming meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Large shrimp
0.25 cup Stone-ground grits
1 cup Water
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Red 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.
Whisk in the grits, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed.
While grits cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the 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 remove from heat.
Once grits are done, remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until completely smooth and creamy.
Spoon the creamy grits into a bowl and top with the Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
