Cajun Shrimp & Grits

gluten-freepescatarian

Ingredients

Cheesy Grits

Cajun Shrimp

Method

1

Bring milk to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Whisk in grits and cook, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy.

2

Stir in butter and cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with salt and keep warm.

3

Toss shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

4

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through.

5

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and parsley.

6

Spoon the shrimp and pan sauce over bowls of cheesy grits.

Notes

  • Old-fashioned stone-ground grits take longer but have much better texture than instant.
  • For dairy-free, use a plant-based milk and butter, and skip the cheese.
