Cajun Shrimp with Creamy Grits
Sautéed succulent shrimp and bell peppers seasoned with smoky Cajun spices, served over a bed of velvety, protein-rich grits for a comforting Southern-inspired meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
0.25 cup stone-ground corn grits
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
0.5 cup green bell pepper
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup celery
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
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.
Slowly whisk in the grits, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
While grits cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion, celery, and bell pepper, sautéing for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Once the grits are done, remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Season the grits with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Portion the creamy grits into a bowl and top with the Cajun shrimp and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
