Shrimp & Cheesy Grits
The Stuff:
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup quick cooking grits
3/4 cups reduced fat cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons tapatio - this gives it a nice kick
2 pinches or grinds of black pepper
1 pound cooked medium or large shrimp
This is the brand I use |
1 teaspoon each salt, pepper and ancho chili powder (or chili powder if you don't have ancho)
1 tablespoons olive oil
The How To:
- Thaw, devein and peel the shrimp, set aside
- In a large sauce pan bring the chicken broth to a boil
- Whisk in the grits, tapatio, garlic powder and ground pepper
- Lower heat to low, cover sauce pan and cook for 8 minutes or until grits thicken
- While grits are cooking heat olive oil in a large saute pan
- Add garlic and cook on high for about a minute, reduce heat to low
- Toss shrimp with salt, pepper and ancho chili powder
- Stir shrimp into pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, keep on low
- Remove lid from grits and stir in cheese and yogurt
- Scoop grits into bowl, top with shrimp, serve with a side salad and you have dinner!
