GRILLED SHRIMP AND POLENTA
This play on shrimp and grits uses store-bought polenta, because the last thing you want to do when it's hot is stand over a pot of steaming cornmeal. The shrimp, polenta, and grape tomatoes all grill together in just a few minutes and then get topped with a spicy butter that melts into a luscious sauce for the hot shrimp.

Steps:
- Zest the lemon into a mixing bowl and add the butter, hot sauce and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. Gently stir in half of the parsley, reserving the remaining parsley for garnish. Cut the zested lemon into wedges and reserve.
- Prepare a grill or grill pan or for high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Thread the tomatoes on the skewers, about 7 tomatoes per skewer. (If using wooden skewers, leave just 1/2 inch of the skewer sticking out on each end so you do not have to soak them). Brush 1 tablespoon of the oil on the tomatoes and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper.
- Brush both sides of the polenta rounds with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the skewered tomatoes on the hot grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are lightly charred in spots and have started to burst, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, arrange the polenta on the grill and cook until lightly charred with distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes per side, flipping once using a flat metal spatula. (Be careful not to flip the polenta too early because it will stick to the grill if it is not ready.) Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- By this time, the grape tomatoes should be ready to take off the grill as well. Carefully remove the tomatoes from the skewers and place directly into a small bowl. Use the back of a pair of tongs or a spoon to lightly smash the tomatoes so that they release their juices.
- Place 3 pieces of polenta on each plate. In the center of the polenta, spoon a quarter of the tomatoes along with their juices, one quarter of the shrimp and a large dollop of the reserved butter mixture (if it doesn't melt, touch the business end of a pair of tongs to the grill, and then to the butter to finish melting). Garnish with the reserved parsley and wedges of lemon for squeezing on top of each serving.

SHRIMP WITH HOT FENNEL SAUSAGE AND POLENTA
Shrimp with hominy grits is a favorite in the American South. Polenta stands in for this spicy Italianate version, fortified with hot fennel sausage and tomatoes. For the best-tasting results, be sure to cook the polenta slowly for at least 45 minutes, and try to get freshly made sausages from an Italian deli or butcher shop.

Steps:
- Make the polenta: Bring 8 cups salted water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Whisk in polenta, continuing to whisk as mixture begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Turn heat to low and let polenta cook slowly, whisking every few minutes for about 10 minutes. Turn heat to very low and continue to cook for least 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. If polenta gets too thick to stir easily, add a bit of water to obtain a porridge-like consistency. (When finished, there should be no raw cornmeal flavor.) Taste a cooled spoonful, then correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Turn off heat, whisk in butter and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Heat olive oil in a large, wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add shrimp in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, until lightly browned. Using tongs, turn shrimp over, season and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. (Shrimp will not be fully cooked.)
- Add onion to pan and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage meat and cook, mashing with a large spoon to let sausage crumble into rough half-inch pieces. Continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes, until mixture is lightly browned. Stir in garlic, red-pepper flakes and rosemary, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add wine and tomato purée. Simmer for 1 minute and stir in crème fraîche. Turn off heat and check seasoning. Warm a large serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together scallions, capers, parsley and lemon zest.
- To finish, turn heat to high. Add reserved shrimp to sausage mixture and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.
- Mound polenta into middle of platter. Spoon shrimp and sauce around polenta. Sprinkle with scallion mixture and serve. (Alternatively, place a large spoonful of polenta into individual plates or soup bowls and top with shrimp and sauce.)

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend until well coated.
- Heat a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 5-6, cook the shrimp for 45 seconds on each side, until starting to turn golden and opaque. Transfer to a clean medium bowl and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil, remaining tablespoon McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend, and the tomatoes to the bowl with the shrimp and toss to combine.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and wipe out any crispy bits. Let the skillet cool for about 10 minutes.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the chicken broth and cream, whisking to combine. Cook until the liquid begins to steam, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the polenta, whisking well to prevent clumps from forming. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the polenta is thick and the grains are tender, whisking constantly to prevent the polenta at the bottom of the pan from burning or clumping. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Whisk in the Parmesan cheese and butter, then fold in the spinach. It will wilt from the residual heat.
- Set an oven rack 3 inches from the broiler and turn the broiler on high.
- Arrange the shrimp on top of the polenta in the pan and top with the tomatoes and any remaining marinade from the bowl.
- Broil the skillet for 3 minutes, checking occasionally to avoid burning, until the polenta is golden brown and the tomatoes soften.
- Enjoy!

CAJUN SHRIMP AND CRAB OVER POLENTA
Well having posted a response about jambalaya, cajun food and other recipes this week made me think about other dishes I use grits or polenta with. I honestly never liked them because they were either breakfast for me and just bland. Since then I have really learned to appreciate them. There are so many ways to cook and enjoy them with various sauces, gravies, seasonings, cheeses and served not just for breakfast but with all different meats, poultry and seafood. So this is a dish I learned from a girlfriend many years ago. I had to spice it up for me, and add some crab, etc, but she definitely started me thinking. This is a favorite with many of my friends.

Steps:
- Sausage -- In a large saute pan, add the sausage and cook 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and put on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Reserve the drippings in the pan.
- Vegetables -- Add the onion, green pepper, jalapeno and garlic and cook another minute or so.
- Sauce -- Once the vegetables have cooked a minute or two, add the flour, add the chicken broth and bring to medium heat until it thickens slightly. Reduce to medium low and stir in the seasoning (celery seed, cajun seasoning, Old Bay and pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste), shrimp and cook until they begin to curl and turn pink. Just 2-3 minutes.
- Then before the shrimp are done, add the sausage back in and mix well, then add the crab meat and lightly toss so you don't break up the crab too much.
- Polenta -- Whether it is quick cooking or regular cooking, just follow the directions according to directions. When done, just stir in the cheese and any salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve -- Top the shrimp and crab over the polenta and enjoy and great comfort food meal.
