Shrimp & Polenta

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Polenta

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the polenta, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 15-20 minutes). Add salt and stir in a tablespoon of olive oil. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Add the Tomatoes and Wine

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet along with the white wine. Simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the sauce reduces slightly.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the shrimp mixture over the warm polenta and enjoy with slices of focaccia.
