Directions
- Preheat the fryer.
- For the etouffee: In a saute/fry pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil. Stir in the flour. Cook the mix for 6 to 8 min, stirring constantly, for a brown roux. Stir in the celery, onions, green peppers and 1 Tbsp. of the garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 min or possibly till the vegetables start to wilt. Stir in the shrimp stock and Crystal warm sauce.

- Season the shrimp with Emeril's Essence. In a saute/fry pan, heat the butter. Saute/fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 min. Add in the sauteed shrimp to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the relish: In a saute/fry pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil, when the pan is smoking warm, saute/fry the corn, red peppers, yellow peppers, shallots and remaining tsp. of garlic. Saute/fry for 1 to 2 min. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the Tbsp. minced parsley.
- For the polenta: Slice the polenta into 8 slices. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Dip in the egg mix, removing any excess. Dredge in the bread crumbs.
