Instruction

  • To Prepare Shrimp Skewers:
  • Add shrimp, zucchini, pineapple and onions to a large bowl.
  • Add oil and creole seasoning; toss to evenly coat ingredients and allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Place shrimp and vegetables on 6-8 large grill skewers.
  • Grill skewers on medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
  • To Prepare Cheddar Grits:
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add riced cauliflower and garlic and cook until starting to turn golden about 6-8 minutes, stir in broth and cover for 5 minutes or until cauliflower is fully cooked.
  • Using an immersion blender, gently pulse cauliflower to create a creamy consistency that resembles grit like texture (not fully pureed like mashed potatoes).
  • Remove from heat and stir the cheese slices into the hot grits so it melts into the hot dish and blends easily.
  • Stir in cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve smoky cheddar grits with cajun shrimp skewers.
