Polenta Grits with Prawns

Recipe by Louis Tikaram

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup Norco Full Cream Milk
½ teaspoon Coles sea salt
1 cup polenta
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Tabasco hot sauce
¼ teaspoon cracked pepper
¼ cup Norco unsalted butter + 1 tablespoon for cooking
6 king prawns, peeled and deveined (tail on)
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Method

Bring the chicken broth, Norco full cream milk, salt, and 1⅓ cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in the polenta.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until thickened.

Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan with 1 tablespoon of Norco unsalted butter. Cook the prawns until just done, about 3 minutes, then remove from heat and season with a little Old Bay seasoning. Set aside.

Once the polenta is thick, stir in the cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, hot sauce, pepper, and the remaining ¼ cup of butter until melted and smooth.

Spoon the polenta into a serving bowl, top with the prawns, and sprinkle with a little extra Old Bay seasoning.
