Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fried Polenta

    Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add salt and slowly whisk in the polenta. Stir continuously until thickened. Pour into a greased dish and let it cool. Once cooled, cut into squares and set aside.

  2. 2

    Roast the Red Peppers

    Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Toss red bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until charred. Remove the skins and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Gremolata

    In a bowl, mix grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, lemon zest, minced garlic, and olive oil. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salsa Verde

    In a food processor, blend basil, capers, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Seafood

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season grouper and shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook the grouper for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 6

    Fry the Polenta

    In a frying pan, heat olive oil. Fry the polenta squares until golden brown and crispy on each side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 7

    Flash-Fry the Artichoke Hearts

    Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Dip artichoke hearts in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. In a pot, heat vegetable oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
