Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, cleaned
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp chipotle powder
  • 3/4 cup vegetable stock
  • olive oil
  • 1 cup polenta
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper
  • green onion for garnish

Method
 

  1. Slice the red bell pepper and saute it in a tablespoon of olive oil for 4-5 minutes then set aside.
  2. Boil 4 cups of water and cook polenta in it for 3 to 4 minutes. Be careful because polenta bubbles a lot and is hot as hell.
    Turn off the heat and mix in the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter, season with salt and pepper.
  3. In the same pan you cooked the peppers add some olive oil and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes. Add back the peppers, all of the spices and vegetable stock. I used about 3/4 cups. Cook for a few more minutes until the sauce starts to thicken then turn off the heat and add 2 tablespoons butter.
  4. Spoon some polenta in the bowl and top with shrimp. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
