Polenta Pasticciata ai Funghi e Gamberi {Polenta with Mushroom and Shrimp Sauce}
Ah polenta. I am definitely a polenta person. I love how many ways you can prepare polenta. I never ever get tired of it. I love making the polenta into little “cakes”. You can form them into ANY shape and then grill them, fry them {love the crunchy exterior and the creamy interior} or even bake them. Endless possibilities. And bonus points because you can make it WAY ahead of time ; ) Making it perfect for dinner parties.
Polenta is a staple in Northern Italy and I grew up eating it constantly. In every way shape and form. Mushrooms are just a natural pairing to polenta. When it was time for my newest Mushroom Channel recipe I knew I wanted it to be paired with polenta. Polenta pasticciata ai funghi e gamberi is simply polenta cakes slathered with a mushroom and shrimp sauce} Who wouldn’t want that ; ) It’s creamy, crunchy, earthy, and you’ll be hard pressed not to want seconds.
This is my version of a southern shrimp and grits with a twist ; ) Head on over to the Mushroom Channel for the RECIPE
Baci!
That may be the most beautiful shrimp I’ve ever seen. My mouth is watering!

That looks outstanding. Absolutely unbelievable. I have never made polenta before, but I may have to now. I am about to leave work and risk getting fired to make this for lunch.

Every time I eat polenta I love it, but I have never made it myself….that may change after seeing this post, I want some right now! Beautiful!

I am in awe of you with every post, Paula! You are an incredible cook! I love polenta, too – any and every way… but rarely make it because my husband does not like it at all. These pics are yummy. I want to go to a cocktail party you are doing the treats for!

You make polenta sound so easy… don’t know why I tend to avoid it now that I’ve read your beautiful post and recipe. Thanks for turning me on to the Mushroom Channel, too!
