Weight Watchers shrimp and grits recipe:

Now that we know what we need let’s dive in and put it all together to make some Weight Watchers friendly magic in the kitchen.

First heat half the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Next add in the broth, water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil before stirring in the grits.

Reduce the heat and cook covered. Stir occasionaly to avoid sticking and keep cooking until the grits thicken. About 5 minutes should be plenty.

Remove from the heat and add in the spinach slowly, stirring until it’s well combined.

While that’s cooking you can prep the shrimp. Stir together the remaining oil, salt and seasoning in a bowl. Toss in the shirmp and mix until they’re well coated.

Cook the shrimp over medium high heat in a ridged grill pan. About 3-4 minutes or until opaque in the middle.

Divide the grits into four bowls and top with shrimp before serving!
