Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups chicken stock, or as needed, divided
- ¾ cup fat-free half-and-half
- 1 cup polenta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- ½ sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped

- 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder, or to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Step 1
Heat 2 cups chicken stock and half-and-half until nearly boiling. Add polenta and stir constantly until no clumps remain, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Add additional stock or water if polenta is too thick.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock, oregano, thyme, and ancho chile powder. Simmer until vegetables reach desired texture, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, stir Parmesan cheese into the polenta. Add shrimp to the vegetable mixture; cook until pink and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Spoon polenta onto serving plates and top with shrimp mixture.
Cook’s Note:
