Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blackened Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the shrimp with blackening seasoning until evenly coated. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Roasted Pepper Sugo

    In the same skillet, add diced red bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften. Add the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Blend the mixture until smooth, then return to the skillet and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Parmesan Polenta

    In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    To serve, spoon the Parmesan polenta onto plates, top with the roasted pepper sugo, and arrange the blackened shrimp on top. Garnish with pickled peppers.
