1 tsp Cajun seasoning

0.25 tsp Sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan, then slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits and sea salt.

• 2

  Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the grits are creamy and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

• 3

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

• 4

  Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

• 5

  Toss the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper until 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 and opaque.

• 7

  Stir in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors and remove the skillet from the heat.

• 8

  Divide the warm grits into bowls, top with the Cajun shrimp and pepper mixture, and garnish with sliced green onions.
