This fiery dish comes together quickly. Perfect for a cold winter night or a cool Autumn evening. Most of the time is in making the millet cakes, so try it on polenta instead, or just as an entree with salad.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

A serving is typically 3 pieces of shrimp and 2 triangles of polenta cake.

This looks like quite a complicated and long recipe, but actually most of the prep is preparing the polenta millet cakes

You could take two shortcuts: 1) Make the millet and polenta cakes ahead of time and just grill or char before serving, or 2) buy a "tube" of cooked polenta from a good grocer, slice it into rounds and char or grill as provided, and simply serve your shrimp and tomato sauce over your polenta rounds.
