Procedure

Tequila Chipotle BBQ Glaze

2. Add chipotle BBQ sauce and agave. Heat through and hold warm for service.

Green Chili Polenta

1. Set oven to 300°F. In a sauce pan over medium heat add milk and water and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in cornmeal. Cook, stirring until mixture begins to thicken.
2. Remove from heat, cover, and bake until creamy, roughly 30 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and fold in cheddar jack cheese, scallions, green chilis, chili lime rub, and black pepper. Hold hot for service.

Prep

1. In a bowl toss together shrimp, oil, and smoked paprika. Hold refrigerated for service.

2. To plate, place a cup of prepared polenta on desired plate. Top with grilled shrimp and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of glaze. Garnish with scallions and a lime wedge.
