Instructions

  1. 1 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 2 Toss the shrimp with the Cajun spices and cook in the skillet until they turn pink. This takes about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. 3 In a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
  4. 4 Add the polenta to the boiling broth and stir constantly to prevent clumping. Cook the polenta over low heat until thick and creamy, about 25-30 minutes.
  5. 5 Add the butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic to the polenta and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. 6 Serve the polenta in deep bowls, with the Cajun shrimp on top.
