Directions
Preheat grill to high.
Place 1 tablespoon oil and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Cook, stirring, until the garlic is sizzling and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes and oregano; bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook until juicy, about 3 minutes. Stir in shrimp and escarole; cook, stirring, until the escarole is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm.
Oil the grill rack.
Grill polenta slices until hot and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Divide the sauce among 4 shallow bowls or plates.
Top with the polenta slices, sprinkle with olives (if using) and drizzle each serving with ½ teaspoon oil.
Serve.
