Prep 10 min · Cook 20 min

In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable broth and sea salt to a boil.
Slowly whisk in the grits, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
While the grits cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
Toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and black pepper, then add them to the skillet with the minced garlic.
Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Once the grits are tender, stir in the Greek yogurt until the texture is smooth and creamy.
Divide the grits into a bowl, top with the shrimp and pepper mixture, and garnish with sliced green onions.
