Reduced Fat Shrimp and Grits
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 Cups WaterPinch of salt1 cup Stone Ground Grits, dry1 TBSP ButterCheddar or Colby Cheese, Low Fat, 2 cup, shreddedPepper to taste1 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined8 slices of Maple Leaf Brand Chicken Bacon, chopped into small pieces.Juice of 1 lime2 cloves of garlic
Bring water to a boil. Add salt. Add grits and cook until water is absorbed, about 30 minutes until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in butter, cheese and pepper until the cheese is melted. Set aside.
Fry the "bacon" in a large skillet until it's browned - it won't brown like regular bacon. In the tiny amount of grease that's left, add shrimp. Cook until shrimp turn pink. Add lime juice, chopped "bacon", and garlic, and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
To serve, spoon 1/4 of the grits on a deep plate or bowl, and spoon 1/4 of the shrimp mixture over top. Sprinkle with parsley if you really want to make it a fancy 'do.
