John and I are so happy to be back in our own kitchen! Not to say that it wasn’t pretty special eating out for a month and not doing dishes but we really like cooking for ourselves and controlling what goes in the food we eat.

John cooks the shrimp perfectly. It only takes a couple of minutes on each side. One half cup polenta cooks with 3 cups of water and two teaspoons of butter. It needs stirring frequently during its 20 minute cook. We take turns with the stirring. I cut up and steam the broccoli when John puts the shrimp to cook in the pan. It only takes about 5 minutes.

This is a delicious, low calorie meal. With the loose polenta almost like a sauce for the shrimp and broccoli it seems almost decadent.
