INGREDIENTS

8 oz Large shrimp

0.25 cup Stone-ground grits

1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth

0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt

0.5 cup Diced green bell pepper

0.5 cup Diced yellow onion

0.5 cup Diced celery

1 tsp Olive oil

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Fresh parsley

1 tsp Minced garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil, then whisk in the stone-ground grits and reduce the heat to low.

• 2

  Cover and simmer the grits for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until they reach a tender, thickened consistency.

• 3

  While the grits cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 4

  Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to the skillet, sautéing until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

• 5

  Stir in the minced garlic and shrimp, then season the mixture with Cajun spices, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 6

  Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and perfectly curled.

• 7

  Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a rich, creamy texture without heavy cream.

• 8

  Divide the creamy grits into bowls, top with the savory Cajun shrimp and vegetable sauté, and garnish with fresh parsley.
