Red Snapper Shrimp Grits Cajun is a delicious dish combining tender fish and shrimp with creamy grits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fillets of red snapper
  • 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup grits (stone-ground preferred)
  • 4 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for garnish
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.
  2. Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Place the red snapper fillets skin-side down and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Once both the shrimp and fish are cooked, gently fold the shrimp into the creamy grits.
  6. Spoon the shrimp and grits onto a plate. Top with a red snapper fillet and sprinkle with chopped green onions and parsley.
  7. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
