Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 small zucchini cut into long strips
  • 1/4 cup grits I used quick white grits
  • 1 cup water
  • 14 grams cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light
  • 1/2 tsp creole seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 tsp grape seed oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the grits in a 4 cup measuring cup with 1 cup water. Microwave for 3 minutes, add cheese, stir and set aside.
  • While the grits cook, add the oil to a skillet. Cook zucchini for 2 minutes a side. Set aside.
  • Add shrimp to the same pan as the zucchini, and cook for 2 minutes on one side and a minute on the other (this may need longer depending on the size of your shrimp). Remove from pan.
  • In the same pan, add the butter and creole seasoning, and once melted, drizzle over the shrimp and grits.
