Steps:
- Add olive oil to a small loaf pan and use a paper towel to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Set aside.
- Add chicken broth, water, thyme, garlic and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Slowly add the polenta into the chicken broth, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk and cook polenta for 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Pour the polenta into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate until firm, several hours or overnight.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cloves of the garlic, the lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Stir to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
- In a medium bowl combine the garlic, lemon zest and juice, dijon mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Add the capers, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, grape tomatoes, artichokes and parsley. Toss to combine. Set aside.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers.
- Turn the polenta out onto a cutting board. Slice polenta into 1/2" thick slices. Lightly brush them with olive oil. Lightly oil the grill grates and make sure the grill is hot before adding the polenta - it can have a tendency to stick. Grill the polenta for about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.
- Grill the shrimp for about 1 1/2-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Transfer to a serving platter.
- To serve: Arrange the polenta on a serving platter. Spoon the topping over the polenta. Arrange the shrimp skewers over the topping. Serve.

Steps:
- To make the pesto: In a food processor, puree the basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, salt, and cheese until smooth. With the motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream. Pour into a medium bowl, add the shrimp, and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. To make the polenta: In a large, heavy saucepan, stir the water, milk, and cornmeal together. Cook over low heat until thick, stirring constantly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the butter and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp over medium coals for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Divide the polenta among four large flat-rimmed soup dishes.

Steps:
- Season shrimp generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add shrimp; cook until opaque throughout, turning occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon oil to pan; cook garlic and red-pepper flakes until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juice along with 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make Soft Polenta. Just before serving, stir reserved shrimp into tomatoes. Divide polenta among four bowls; spoon shrimp and tomatoes over polenta. Serve with Basic Green Beans, if desired.
