Such a simple question, with infinite possibilities!! We are in the process (i.e. this blog) of saving a cache of quick dinners. Tonight I was lucky my husband made one of our favorites, a very flavorful and quickly-made shrimp and grits.
We live below the Mason-Dixon line, so grits are easy to come by (we keep a box in the pantry). Tonight, we had cheesy grits made with shredded cheddar. We used Quaker 5-minute grits, following package directions and adding in cheddar cheese.
Ingredients:
Grits
1/2 lb. Shrimp, peeled and deveined (follow thawing instructions on package if using frozen shrimp)
2-3 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 tsp. Cajun Seasoning
Olive oil
Instructions:
Shrimp: Heat a 10-12 in. skillet on medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat pan (1 tbp. roughly). Saute onions on medium heat. Sprinkle shrimp with a little salt and pepper before adding shrimp to skillet cooking until pink on both sides (2-3 mins.), being careful not to overcook. Near end of cooking time, add in chopped tomatoes and 2 tsp. cajun seasoning. (Add salt and pepper to taste)
Grits: Cook according to package directions and add in cheese if desired once grits are cooked, immediately after removing from heat.
