PREPARATION
PREPARING THE POLENTA
1.
Bring 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to boil in heavy large saucepan.
2.
Gradually whisk in polenta; whisk constantly until mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
3.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until tender and thickened but still creamy, stirring often, about 30 minutes.
4.
Stir in butter and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
PREPARING THE SHRIMP
5.
In a large nonreactive skillet, cook the onion in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
6.
Add the garlic and the jalapeño and cook until the garlic becomes a pale gold.
7.
Stir in the parsley, then add the tomatoes with their juices and liberal pinches of salt.
8.
Reduce the heat and cook at a steady simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes cook down and the oil begins to separate from the sauce, about 20 minutes.
9.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat with sauce.
10.
Cover and simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with additional salt and serve immediately with the creamy polenta.
