Not only was this tasty, the presentation is lovely! Can easily be used as an entree or appetizer. The shrimp wasn't really "smoky" as the name implies, but still quite delicious. You can add more of the smoked paprika if you wish (we doubled it for a little more flavor but it's not necessary). Use a good quality marinara sauce also, it really brings the polenta together with the shrimp. A fantastic recipe if you want to impress someone.
