Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds frozen medium shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined (tails removed) Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice 1 recipe Soft Polenta Basic Green Beans, for serving (optional)

Directions

Season shrimp generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add shrimp; cook until opaque throughout, turning occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon oil to pan; cook garlic and red-pepper flakes until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juice along with 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down and become saucy, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, make Soft Polenta. Just before serving, stir reserved shrimp into tomatoes. Divide polenta among four bowls; spoon shrimp and tomatoes over polenta. Serve with Basic Green Beans, if desired.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/16/2010   I have been making this meal since the recipe cam out in the 2006 Everyday Food. My husband and I love it. I was the first meal i made him when he got back from Iraq, its now a staple!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/01/2008   Really wonderful recipe. I forgot and left the tomato sauce on a little too long so I added another can of diced tomatoes and more water and it came out real chunkie. Yum!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/25/2008   Very quick and easy...we've prepared it for friends/family many times, and always get rave reviews.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/20/2008   Heh, heh. This is known as "Shrimp and Grits" down here in the Carolinas.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/20/2008   Very easy and quick to prepare; great for busy weeknights. Very tasty - my husband enjoyed it with 2 large helpings.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/20/2008   Yes, it was tasty, but the addition of fresh basil would have added that extra oomphf. Very good, though...my husband cleaned his plate!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/20/2008   This was a simple and easy dinner. Used my old standby polenta recipe (I think it is an older Martha recipe with corn and basil mixed in) and the shrimp on top and it was a big hit with the family.
