Creamy Polenta with Spicy Shrimp & Snow Peas
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup polenta
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 10-12 large shrimp
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Crumbled feta cheese for topping
Method
- In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the polenta, water, olive oil and salt. Whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Bring the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Stir in the butter until well combined. Keep warm while preparing the shrimp and snow peas.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp and snow peas to the skillet and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
- Divide the creamy polenta between two serving bowls.
- Top the polenta with the spicy shrimp and snow peas mixture.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta over the top and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
