Shrimp With Bacon And Polenta

• 1 cup instant polenta
• 4 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup bacon chopped
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 28 ounces tomatoes can of
• 1 pound shrimp frozen or fresh, peeled, deveined, washed
• 1 handful parsley

1. Bring water to boil and slowly pour in polenta. Lower the heat and keep stirring for 3 to 5 minutes. Then take it off the heat and cover.
2. In a large pot, warm the olive oil then add bacon and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the bacon gets brown, but not crispy. Add the tomatoes and break them up with the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
3. Toss the shrimp, with or without tails, into the tomato mixture and stir, cooking about minutes, or until shrimp are cooked.
4. Give your polenta another stir and maybe even add a splash of water to loosen it. Create a nest of polenta and then ladle your sauce-y shrimp on top. Garnish with parsley.
