Cajun Shrimp with Cheesy Grits
Succulent shrimp sautéed with smoky Cajun spices and aromatic vegetables, served over a bed of creamy, sharp cheddar stone-ground grits.
INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz Shrimp
0.25 cup Stone-ground grits
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Yellow onion
0.25 cup Green bell pepper
0.25 cup Celery
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Water
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and a pinch of sea salt to a boil.
Gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
While the grits cook, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the skillet, sautéing until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and toss them in a bowl with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Once the grits are finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Spoon the cheesy grits into a bowl, top with the Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture, and garnish with fresh parsley.
