SHRIMP WITH HOT FENNEL SAUSAGE AND POLENTA



Shrimp With Hot Fennel Sausage and Polenta image

Shrimp with hominy grits is a favorite in the American South. Polenta stands in for this spicy Italianate version, fortified with hot fennel sausage and tomatoes. For the best-tasting results, be sure to cook the polenta slowly for at least 45 minutes, and try to get freshly made sausages from an Italian deli or butcher shop.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups polenta
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp (about 24)
1 cup diced onion
8 ounces hot Italian fennel sausage, casings removed
3 cloves garlic, minced
Crushed red-pepper flakes, to taste
1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary or thyme
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup tomato purée (passata) or chopped tomato
1/4 cup crème fraîche
1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 teaspoons chopped capers
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Make the polenta: Bring 8 cups salted water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Whisk in polenta, continuing to whisk as mixture begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Turn heat to low and let polenta cook slowly, whisking every few minutes for about 10 minutes. Turn heat to very low and continue to cook for least 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. If polenta gets too thick to stir easily, add a bit of water to obtain a porridge-like consistency. (When finished, there should be no raw cornmeal flavor.) Taste a cooled spoonful, then correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Turn off heat, whisk in butter and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Heat olive oil in a large, wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add shrimp in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, until lightly browned. Using tongs, turn shrimp over, season and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. (Shrimp will not be fully cooked.)
  • Add onion to pan and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sausage meat and cook, mashing with a large spoon to let sausage crumble into rough half-inch pieces. Continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes, until mixture is lightly browned. Stir in garlic, red-pepper flakes and rosemary, and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Add wine and tomato purée. Simmer for 1 minute and stir in crème fraîche. Turn off heat and check seasoning. Warm a large serving platter. In a small bowl, mix together scallions, capers, parsley and lemon zest.
  • To finish, turn heat to high. Add reserved shrimp to sausage mixture and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Mound polenta into middle of platter. Spoon shrimp and sauce around polenta. Sprinkle with scallion mixture and serve. (Alternatively, place a large spoonful of polenta into individual plates or soup bowls and top with shrimp and sauce.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp for the best results.
  • Make sure the polenta is cooked and cooled completely before using it to crust the shrimp. This will help the crust stay crispy.
  • Use a light hand when breading the shrimp. Too much polenta will make the crust thick and heavy.
  • Shallow-fry the shrimp in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will help prevent the shrimp from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with the mustard and herb mayonnaise.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Polenta-crusted shrimp with mustard and herb mayonnaise is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the mustard and herb mayonnaise adds a zesty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
