If you're in need of an appetizer for your next dinner party, these quick to make shrimp and polenta appetizers are calorie-friendly and completely delicious.
Your guests will never guess that this cheesy shrimpy appetizer is calorie friendly. I've never made a plate of these babies that lasted very long on the buffet table.
All you need is a tube of polenta, salad shrimp, cheese, cocktail sauce and fresh basil to get these popped into the oven. Bake them until the cheese bubbles and browns and they're ready to serve.
I've been known to turn these into a meal, and why not? Who says you can't turn an appetizer into dinner, especially with nice glass of red wine!
