How to make it
1
Step 1
Wash and dry produce. Drain corn; pat dry with paper towels. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
2
Step 2
In a small pot, combine polenta, stock concentrate, half the garlic powder, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings) over medium heat. Cook, mashing with a potato masher or fork, until mostly smooth and warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cover until ready to use in Step 5.

Step 3
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add corn; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If corn begins to pop, cover pan. Reduce heat to medium; stir in scallion whites, remaining garlic powder, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Wipe out pan.

Step 4
Cut bacon* into ½-inch pieces. Heat same pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, rinse shrimp* under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Once bacon is browned and crispy, add shrimp and Blackening Spice to pan; cook, stirring, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Add a drizzle of oil if pan seems dry. Stir in tomato; cook until warmed through, 30-60 seconds. Taste and season with salt if desired. Remove from heat and cover until ready to serve.
