JesseEatzA lighter, high-protein take on the classic Southern comfort dish, featuring bold Cajun spices and fresh spinach.
Prepare the grits according to package instructions until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
Use stone-ground grits for better texture, or quick grits if you are in a rush.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle generously with Cajun seasoning.
Don't overcrowd the pan so the shrimp get a nice sear.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté with the shrimp for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Toss in the fresh spinach and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir for 1 minute until the spinach is just wilted.
Divide the warm grits into four bowls. Top each with the Cajun shrimp and spinach mixture. Serve immediately.
