Cajun Prawn and Grits

Ingredients

Chicken broth

4 cups

Grits

1 cup

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Onion

1 medium, diced

Bell pepper

1 medium, diced (any color)

Prawns

1 pound, peeled and deveined

Cajun seasoning

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Green onions

2, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Slowly whisk in the grits, reducing the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are creamy and tender. If the grits become too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
3. While the grits are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
5. Season the prawns with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
6. Once the grits are done, fold in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter for extra creaminess.
7. To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto plates and top with the Cajun prawns and vegetable mixture.
8. Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy your delicious Cajun Prawn and Grits!
