Description
Red Snapper, Shrimp & Grits with Cajun Cream Sauce is a flavorful Southern-inspired dish featuring crispy red snapper, tender shrimp, creamy grits, and a zesty Cajun cream sauce.
Ingredients
2 red snapper fillets
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled
1 cup grits
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Cook the grits according to package instructions. Stir in butter or salt for added flavor.
- Season the red snapper fillets and shrimp with Cajun seasoning. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the snapper for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and butter to make the Cajun cream sauce. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the cooked snapper and shrimp over the grits, and drizzle with the Cajun cream sauce.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more Cajun seasoning or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Use other white fish like tilapia or cod as a substitute for red snapper.
- For a vegan option, swap seafood with mushrooms or tofu, and use plant-based cream and butter.
- Stir in cheddar cheese for a cheesy version of the grits.
