Miso Glazed Shrimp

  • 2 lbs peeled and deveined Island Seafood shrimp
  • 1 cup pre-made shrimp stock
  • 4 tbs Pulp miso 



Recipe

FOR THE BROTH

Add all ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil. 

Reduce heat and simmer anywhere from 1 to 6 hours.

Strain directly to polenta pot

 

FOR THE POLENTA

Soak polenta for 20 min to 1 hour, or overnight in cooking liquid

Place on stove top and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until moisture is completely absorbed. 

Once polenta has reached the desired consistency, stir in butter. (+cream and parm)

Vegan: Use 4 Cups water, cashew milk, vegan butter, miso or nutritional yeast. 

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

FOR THE SHRIMP

Mix 1 cup pre-made shrimp stock (room temperature to warm is best) and 4 tbs Pulp Miso. Whisk until combined.

Heat 2 Tbs olive oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium heat. 

Place shrimp in the hot pan and sear one side, 1-2 minutes, just until the shrimp has some color but is not cooked through.

Flip the shrimp and sear for 1 minute. Pour miso glaze over the shrimp, lightly tossing to thoroughly cover. 

Allow the miso glaze to reduce and finish cooking the shrimp, 1-2 minutes again. 

Meanwhile, ladle about 1 cup polenta into a bowl. When the miso glaze is about the consistency of ketchup, spoon shrimp directly into the bowl, topping with glaze. 

Garnish with Pulp chili oil and your favorite seasonal greens. We chose Hearts of Harvest farms scallions and purple basil.
