In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water (or a mix of water and milk for added creaminess) to a gentle boil. Add a generous pinch of salt.

Heat the liquid

Gradually whisk in 1 cup of polenta, ensuring there are no clumps. Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring frequently.

Whisk in polenta

Cook the polenta over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 30–40 minutes until it becomes thick and creamy.

Simmer and stir

Once cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Finish with butter and cheese

Gently clean 8 oz of maitake mushrooms with a damp cloth and separate them into bite-sized clusters.

Clean and prepare mushrooms

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the maitake mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2–3 minutes to develop color.

Sauté the mushrooms

Stir the mushrooms gently, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until browned and tender.

Add seasoning

Drizzle mushrooms lightly with truffle oil (about 1 teaspoon) just before removing from heat. Toss gently and set aside.

Finish with truffle oil

Peel and devein 1 pound of tiger shrimp, leaving tails on if desired. Pat dry with paper towels.

Prepare the shrimp

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika or chili flakes for a touch of heat.

Season the shrimp

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Sear the shrimp

Spoon a generous portion of creamy polenta into the center of each plate. Top with a layer of truffled maitake mushrooms followed by several seared tiger shrimp.

Plate the dish

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a light drizzle of truffle oil, if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
