Shrimp Creole with Creamy Polenta
Chef Akhtar heads south for this one, turning out a gloriously saucy Creole classic. Seared shrimp is dusted with warm Cajun spices and coated in a tomato-rich sauce of celery, bell pepper, onion, and a dash of fiery Tabasco. It’s paired with creamy polenta that’s whisked with butter and cheddar cheese, and braised collard greens sweetened with honey and sharpened with vinegar.
