CAJUN SHRIMP AND CRAB OVER POLENTA
Well having posted a response about jambalaya, cajun food and other recipes this week made me think about other dishes I use grits or polenta with. I honestly never liked them because they were either breakfast for me and just bland. Since then I have really learned to appreciate them. There are so many ways to cook and enjoy them with various sauces, gravies, seasonings, cheeses and served not just for breakfast but with all different meats, poultry and seafood. So this is a dish I learned from a girlfriend many years ago. I had to spice it up for me, and add some crab, etc, but she definitely started me thinking. This is a favorite with many of my friends.

Steps:
- Sausage -- In a large saute pan, add the sausage and cook 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and put on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Reserve the drippings in the pan.
- Vegetables -- Add the onion, green pepper, jalapeno and garlic and cook another minute or so.
- Sauce -- Once the vegetables have cooked a minute or two, add the flour, add the chicken broth and bring to medium heat until it thickens slightly. Reduce to medium low and stir in the seasoning (celery seed, cajun seasoning, Old Bay and pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste), shrimp and cook until they begin to curl and turn pink. Just 2-3 minutes.
- Then before the shrimp are done, add the sausage back in and mix well, then add the crab meat and lightly toss so you don't break up the crab too much.
- Polenta -- Whether it is quick cooking or regular cooking, just follow the directions according to directions. When done, just stir in the cheese and any salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve -- Top the shrimp and crab over the polenta and enjoy and great comfort food meal.
