PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and chicken broth to a boil.

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

  Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

• 5

  Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

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

  Divide the grits into a bowl, top with the Cajun shrimp and pepper mixture, and garnish with fresh parsley.
