Recipe: Wild Blue Mexican Shrimp & Polenta Skillet Dinner

Recipe: Wild Blue Mexican Shrimp & Polenta Skillet Dinner

It’s common to associate eating shrimp and other seafood with summer, but there’s lots of ways to create warm and hearty meals for cooler weather with these delicious ingredients. Simply pair the seafood with filling, warming and seasonal foods. This baked polenta with wild blue Mexican shrimp, Grana Padano cheese and juicy cherry tomatoes create a mouthwatering dish that’s easy to whip up in no time. It’s a flavorful take on classic Southern shrimp and grits that makes a delightful evening meal. The best part is, the entire thing is prepared in a cast iron skillet making for minimal clean up and maximum visual appeal.

A Delicious Combination Of Simple Ingredients


Grana Padano cheese is similar in flavor to Parmesan, but mixes more smoothly into other ingredients when melted. It’s mild, nutty and the perfect complement to a light protein like shrimp. It’s excellent for cooking and I highly recommend trying it out if you’ve never used it before. If you’re not able to find it, feel free to substitute Parmesan or whatever cheese you prefer. Take advantage of the end of the tomato growing season and use locally grown cherry tomatoes if possible! The taste is well worth it. Our wild blue Mexican shrimp are deveined by hand, making them much easier to prepare. They’re very easy to peel and are always a great choice for a quick weeknight dinner.


Fair Trade Certified Wild Blue Mexican Shrimp


Wild blue Mexican shrimp are renowned for the excellent, sweet flavor and tender yet crisp texture. They’re large in size and have a beautiful blue hue when uncooked. They are caught using the most sustainable methods in existence for harvesting shrimp. Fishermen use small-scale sailboats and an artisanal technique known as suripera. This method involves using the wind and tides to skillfully drift a highly selective net, resulting in the lowest fuel consumption and bycatch rates in the world.

Bycatch is the term for marine animals, like dolphins, turtles and others, who are harmed in the process of fishing for seafood. Additionally, these are the only Fair Trade certified shrimp on the planet. It’s never been more important than it is now to choose seafood options that are conscious of environmental impact. Our sources go above and beyond industry standards taking care every step of the way to protect the oceans, the wildlife and their employees. Shrimp are one of the most sustainable proteins you can eat, and these wild blue Mexican shrimp are outstanding in every way.

Shrimp Are A Sustainable And Healthy Protein


Only about 10% of shrimp eaten in the United States are wild caught, and ours make up an incredibly small percentage that are truly environmentally conscious in every way. This makes shrimp an incredibly sustainable protein source to add into your diet, and there are many health benefits of these tasty crustaceans. Aside from offering a whopping 24 grams of protein per 100 grams of shrimp, they’re also full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They’re a great source of magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron, selenium and manganese. They’re extremely low carb making them a great choice for anyone monitoring their carbohydrate intake. Shrimp are great for weight loss and packed full of nourishment and energy.
