Zesty Shrimp And Spinach Polenta Bake Recipe By Tasty

ZESTY SHRIMP AND SPINACH POLENTA BAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

ZESTY ONE-POT SHRIMP PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.
• In the same pot, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp and season with the Zesty seasoning. Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, but are not fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the linguine to the pot, along with the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and Parmesan. Toss until the butter melts and the pasta is well-coated. Add the lemon juice and toss once more to incorporate.
• Serve the pasta hot.
• Enjoy!

SAUTEED SHRIMP OVER POLENTA

Steps:

• Heat 2 cups chicken stock and half-and-half until nearly boiling. Add polenta and stir constantly until no clumps remain, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Add additional stock or water if polenta is too thick.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock, oregano, thyme, and ancho chile powder. Simmer until vegetables reach desired texture, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir Parmesan cheese into the polenta. Add shrimp to the vegetable mixture; cook until pink and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Spoon polenta onto serving plates and top with shrimp mixture.
