Quick and easy Garlic Prawns & Blistered Tomatoes with Swiss chard served over creamy Parmesan polenta.
Always keep frozen shrimp on hand
Weeknight dinner doesn’t get any easier than this. Yep, 15 minutes to restaurant inspired Garlic Prawns & Blistered Tomatoes. Argentinian Pink Shrimp are a staple in my freezer. I love how quick they thaw, which makes pulling together weeknight dinner a cinch.
This dish starts with creamy polenta (another pantry staple). Then a quick saute of garlic, shrimp, Swiss chard and beautiful blistered tomatoes. The tomatoes add the perfect burst of flavor for a savvy weeknight dinner.
