Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the polenta

In a medium sauce pot, bring 2 cups [4 cups] lightly salted water to a boil. Add the polenta in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Reduce to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the polenta is tender and the mixture is thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in 2 to 3 teaspoons butter or oil (from your pantry), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm. While the water is heating and the polenta is cooking, prepare the rest of the meal.

Prep the remaining ingredients

Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed; cut the beans in half crosswise.
Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Lay the shrimp flat and carefully cut each in half horizontally. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Cook the vegetables and shrimp

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots and green beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are very soft and can easily be crushed with the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes.

Stir in the caper vinaigrette and shrimp and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes for regular shrimp, 3 to 4 minutes for jumbo shrimp. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the polenta to individual bowls and top with the shrimp, vegetables, and sauce. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
