Make Cajun sweet and spicy shrimp with creamy polenta in just 25 minutes for a taste of Louisiana at home.
Ingredients:
  • 750ml (3 cups) Organic Chicken Liquid Stock
  • 170g (1 cup) instant polenta
  • 100g butter, chopped
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 green shallots, thinly sliced
  • 3 tsp gluten-free Cajun spice mix
  • 11 ⁄27.50 gm smoked paprika
  • 1kg green prawns, peeled, deveined, tails intact
  • Fresh oregano, to serve
  • Charred lemon cheeks, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Slowly pour in the polenta while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Take off the heat and stir in half of the butter. Season to taste.
  • In a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat, melt the remaining butter until browned. Stir in the oil, honey, shallot, garlic, Cajun spice mix, and paprika until combined. Quickly add the prawns and cook, tossing, for 3-4 minutes until they curl and change color.
  • Plate the polenta and prawns individually. Garnish with oregano and accompany with lemon wedges.
