Steps:
- Prehat the oven to 400 with a rack in the center position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Line a plate with paper towels. Place the pancetta rounds side by side on teh prepared pan and bake until crisp, 5 to 7 mins. Remove to the lined plate to cook and drain; set aside (keep the parchment on the sheet pan). Place the polenta rounds on the used sheet pan, right on top of the pancetta drippings, positioning them closely together so they form a kind of raft. In a large bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Scatter the tomatoes around and on top of the polenta. Bake the polenta and tomatoes for about 10 mins. Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 1.5 tbsp olive oil with the lemon juice, garlic, oregano, worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and the chives in a large bowl. Add the shirmp and toss to coat. Set them aside at room temp to marinate while the polenta and tomatoes cook. After the polenta and tomatoes have baked for 10 mins, arrange shrimp on top in a single layer (make sure the shrimp do not overlap) and return the pan to the oven. Bake until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, an additional 8 to 10 mins. Serve the shrimp, tomatoes, and polenta warm, with the pancetta tuiles on top.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend until well coated.
- Heat a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 5-6, cook the shrimp for 45 seconds on each side, until starting to turn golden and opaque. Transfer to a clean medium bowl and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil, remaining tablespoon McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend, and the tomatoes to the bowl with the shrimp and toss to combine.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and wipe out any crispy bits. Let the skillet cool for about 10 minutes.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the chicken broth and cream, whisking to combine. Cook until the liquid begins to steam, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the polenta, whisking well to prevent clumps from forming. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the polenta is thick and the grains are tender, whisking constantly to prevent the polenta at the bottom of the pan from burning or clumping. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Whisk in the Parmesan cheese and butter, then fold in the spinach. It will wilt from the residual heat.
- Set an oven rack 3 inches from the broiler and turn the broiler on high.
- Arrange the shrimp on top of the polenta in the pan and top with the tomatoes and any remaining marinade from the bowl.
- Broil the skillet for 3 minutes, checking occasionally to avoid burning, until the polenta is golden brown and the tomatoes soften.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Make sure the polenta is creamy: Polenta should be creamy and smooth, not thick and pasty. If your polenta is too thick, add more liquid. Don't have enough time to prepare the polenta? Use pre-made polenta instead.
- Use crispy pancetta tuiles: Crispy pancetta tuiles add a delicious, salty crunch to the dish. To make pancetta tuiles, simply cook pancetta slices in a single layer in a hot skillet until they are crispy.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Shrimp and polenta with crispy pancetta tuiles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, polenta, and crispy pancetta is sure to please everyone at your table.
