Cheddar Polenta with Sun-dried Tomatoes & Shrimp

This comforting bowl has creamy cheddar polenta on the bottom ( I used precooked polenta tube) which is then layered with sun-dried tomatoes & shrimp. Its simple yet has bold flavors from the sun-dried tomatoes while the lemon juice brings everything together.

If you are a vegetarian, skip the shrimp and enjoy the cheesy polenta with sun-dried tomatoes or by itself with a dash or salt and pepper.
