    Things To Grab

    • Hy-Vee olive oil nonstick cooking spray
    • Charcoal or gas grill
    • Paper towels
    • Large bowls
    • Tongs
    • 6 (8-in.) metal skewers
    • Microwave-safe bowl
    • 6-qt. Dutch oven
    • Wooden spoon
    • 6 serving dishes

    Directions

    1. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill with a greased grill rack for direct cooking over medium-high heat (375 degrees).

    2. Meanwhile, peel shrimp, leaving tails attached. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. Toss with 4 tsp. chili-lime rub. Thread shrimp onto 6 (8-in.) metal skewers; set aside.

    3. Place ¼ cup butter, honey and remaining 1 tsp. chili-lime rub in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 to 60 seconds or until melted. Stir to combine; set aside.

    4. Bring water, undrained corn, milk and remaining ¼ cup butter to a gentle simmer in a 6-qt. Dutch oven. Slowly stir in polenta, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or to desired consistency. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm and set aside.*

    5. Grill shrimp skewers for 5 to 7 minutes or until shrimp reach 145 degrees, turning halfway through. Remove shrimp from skewers and transfer to the bowl with the honey-butter mixture; gently toss to coat.

    6. To serve, divide polenta among 6 serving dishes. Top with shrimp and honey-butter mixture. Season to taste with salt.

      *Note: Polenta thickens as it cools, so be sure to keep it warm until ready to serve.
