INGREDIENTS

8 oz shrimp

0.25 cup stone-ground grits

1 cup vegetable broth

0.5 tbsp ghee

2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable broth and sea salt to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

• 2

  Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the grits are creamy.

• 3

  While the grits are cooking, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 4

  Add the diced yellow onion and bell peppers to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften and slightly caramelize.

• 5

  In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper until every piece is evenly coated.

• 6

  Add the seasoned shrimp and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.

• 7

  Once the grits are tender, remove from heat and stir in the ghee and plain Greek yogurt until the mixture is rich and smooth.

• 8

  Divide the creamy grits into bowls, top with the Cajun shrimp and sautéed vegetables, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
