Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Spanish chorizo is a pork sausage that's flavored with smoked sweet paprika and garlic—and it imparts a terrific flavor to this fusion dish. But if you can't find it at your local store, opt for crispy-cooked bacon instead.

Ingredients

Servings 4

1 c. grits
2 oz. Spanish chorizo (cured sausage)
1 onion
2 clove garlic
1 1/2 lb. medium shrimp
Kosher salt and pepper
1 lb. plum tomatoes
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Instructions

Cook the grits according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes; stir in the garlic.
Season the shrimp with 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until opaque throughout, about 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and toss to combine. Spoon the shrimp and tomato mixture over the grits and sprinkle with the parsley, if desired.

Why this Smoky Shrimp and Grits works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
