INGREDIENTS

8 oz shrimp

0.25 cup stone-ground grits

1 cup water

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 cup green bell pepper

0.25 cup celery

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp green onions

1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 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 heat.

• 4

  Add the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

• 5

  Stir in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking for another 60 seconds to release the aromatics.

• 6

  Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.

• 7

  Stir in the lemon juice and black pepper, tossing the shrimp and vegetables together to coat.

• 8

  Spoon the warm grits into a serving bowl and top with the Cajun shrimp mixture and fresh green onions.
