  • Tony Chachere’s No Salt Seasoning, to taste

  • Grated Parmesan for garnish

  • Tony Chachere’s No Salt Seasoning to taste

Directions

  1. Slice polenta into cubes, and add the cubed polenta to a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat. 
  2. Stir in the chicken broth and cover. Once the broth starts to bubble, use a potato masher to brad down the polenta cups. Continue to mash until polenta is a smooth texture. 
  3. Pour in the milk and butter and season to taste…continue to stir until fully combined.
  4. Add the grated Parmesan and chopped basil, and stir it into the polenta. Continue to heat and stir until the butter and cheese are fully melted and combined.
  5. Reduce heat to low while you make the shrimp étouffée.
  6. Cook étouffée per package directions. Season to taste with Tony Chachere’s No Salt Seasoning.
  7. Add a serving of polenta to a shallow bowl followed by the shrimp and étouffée sauce.
  8. Garnish with grated Parmesan and green onions, and serve.
