2 ½ cups chicken stock, or as needed, divided
¾ cup fat-free half-and-half
1 cup polenta
2 tablespoons olive oil

VOODOO SHRIMP OVER CHEESY JALAPENO POLENTA

Voodoo Shrimp over Cheesy Jalapeno Polenta image

I had this dish in Las Vegas at the Crossroads House of Blues restaurant and I loved it so much I had to try to make it at home. The House of Blues served it over jalapeno corn bread but the jalapeno polenta was just as good.
