Directions
- For the polenta, process onion and garlic until smooth. Heat a pan on the stove with one tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil. Add onion and garlic mixture to pan. Deglaze with white wine and reduce. Add water and bring to a simmer. Slowly add polenta, whisking constantly. Add milk and keep stirring, turn heat to low, and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Allow polenta to cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring often. Stir in butter and remove from heat.
- For the shrimp, add one tablespoon (15 milliliters) butter and the olive oil to a large skillet and heat until shimmering. Add garlic and shrimp, tossing to coat. Add white wine and cook until shrimp are pink and wine has almost evaporated. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper and toss with chopped flat leaf parsley. Add remaining butter and toss one last time. Serve over a bed of hot polenta, and drizzle with extra sauce.
