4.5 (8 oz) bottles clam juice (4 1/2 cups) or 36 oz vegetable stock (4 1/2 cups)
2 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups polenta ( coarse cornmeal)
3/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
kosher salt
2 tbsp olive oil
12 extra-large shrimp , peeled deveined butterflied , flattened
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fennel, finely chopped
1/2 cup plum tomato, finely chopped

Reduce heat and simmer polenta until thick and tender, stirring constantly, 15 to 20 minutes (halve the time if using cornmeal).

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat; season shrimp with salt and pepper and add to skillet.
Sear about one minute per side, then remove to a plate (will not be cooked through).
To the skillet, add fennel, tomatoes, shallot, preserved lemon, and garlic.
Saute until fennel is tender, about 4 minutes.
Add Pernod, or wine, and boil one minute; add cream boil one minute.
Return shrimp to skillet, toss until opaque in center, about one minute.
