A delightful twist on a classic dish, combining creamy polenta with flavorful shrimp and fresh herbs.
In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil.
Stir frequently to prevent the milk from scorching.
Gradually whisk in the polenta, reducing the heat to low.
Whisk continuously to avoid lumps.
Stir in the butter and goat cheese until melted and smooth.
Ensure the cheese is fully melted for a creamy texture.
Mix in the parsley and basil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fresh herbs add a vibrant flavor to the dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp along with the marinade.
Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, being careful not to overcook.
Serve the polenta on plates and top with the cooked shrimp and a drizzle of the pan juices.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a beautiful presentation.
