Ingredients
One 1-pound tube polenta
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Directions
1. Cook the polenta: Heat oven to 200*F. Slice the polenta into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Combine
2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Heat a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Brush the slices of polenta with the oil mixture and fry until they’re golden — about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
2. Make the shrimp: Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Place the shrimp and garlic in the same skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Add the marinara sauce, lemon juice, crushed red pepper, and oregano, and continue to cook until the shrimp are opaque and warmed through — about 5 minutes. Serve immediately alongside the warmed seasoned polenta.
