- Shrimp
- 28 Large shrimp, deveined and peeled.
- 4 cups grape tomatos, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 4 Tbs tomoato paste
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp groud pepper
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 4 Tbs olive oil, divided
- Polenta
- 1 box instant polenta (abt 2 cups cup)
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Season shrimp with kosher salt, ground pepper, crushed red pepper and olive oil.
- In a pan, heat 1 Tbs of olive oil at a medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic and tomato paste, stir breaking up the tomato paste. If you like you can add 2 Tbs of water or chicken stock to thin it. Once the paste has broken up and the onions are starting to get tender add your tomatoes.
- Stir the tomatoes, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add seasoned shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is a light pink and begins to curl. Shrimp cook very quickly, usually in 3 to 7 minutes. Don't overcook them because it makes them a little rubbery. As soon as they are done remove from heat.
- To prepare polenta:
- Sweat the garlic in a hot pan with olive oil. Follow the directions on the box but substitute chicken stock for the water. When the polenta thinkens stir in the 2 Tbs of butter and 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan.
- If your polenta is a little too think just keep some warm chicken stock near by and add it little by little, until you have the consistency you want.
- Serve shrimp over polenta. Garnish with torn fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
