Slice in 1/2 inch slices and brush each side with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. 2 1/2 inch slices equal 1 serving. Heat grill to med-high heat. Skewer shrimp for ease of grilling. Grill both shrimp and polenta 3-5 minutes on each side until shrimp is cooked and polenta is browned.Meanwhile, prepare a green salad. Combine 1 roasted red pepper, 2 tbs vinegar, salt, pepper and a little water (or soup stock for extra calories) in a blender and blend until saucy.To save on calories, use the red pepper sauce as a salad dressing.
