Ingredients

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or no-chicken broth
1 cup stone-ground grits
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
4 scallions, whites and greens separated, sliced
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 pound raw shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 cup dry white wine

Directions

Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Slowly add grits and whisk to combine. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and thickened, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Cover and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to give off their juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until the tomatoes are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add scallion whites and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the tomato mixture into the grits.
Pat shrimp dry. Wipe out the pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook, flipping once, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Serve the shrimp over the grits, sprinkled with scallion greens.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
