Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped green chili, sautéing until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the saucepan and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Polenta

    In the same saucepan, add the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Gradually whisk in the semolina, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the polenta thickens.

  4. 4

    Combine Shrimp and Polenta

    Once the polenta is cooked, return the shrimp to the saucepan and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the gambas y semolina hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
