INGREDIENTS

7 oz shrimp

0.25 cup stone-ground grits

1 cup water

0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt

0.5 cup bell pepper

0.25 cup onion

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and sea salt to a boil. Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits.

• 2

  Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are tender and have absorbed the water.

• 3

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

• 4

  Add the diced onion and chopped bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

• 5

  Toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper until evenly coated.

• 6

  Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.

• 7

  Once the grits are finished, remove them from the heat and stir in the plain Greek yogurt to achieve a creamy consistency.

• 8

  Divide the creamy grits into a bowl and top with the sautéed Cajun shrimp and vegetables.

• 9

  Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
