- In a heavy-bottomed saucepot, combine the water, 1 of the bay leaves, and salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually whisk the cornmeal into the pot, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir constantly till the polenta is smooth and thick, about 30 min. Remove the bay leaf. Turn the polenta into a serving bowl and keep hot.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the celery and garlic, and process to create a smooth paste. Set aside.
- In a 12- to 14-inch saute/fry pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat and add in the onion. Saute/fry till softened and slightly browned, about 3 min, then add in the celery and garlic, and remaining 2 bay leaves. Cook for 5 min, stirring occasionally. Add in the tomato paste and wine, mix well, and cook for 5 min.
- Add in the shrimp and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add in a bit of water if necessary to keep the mix from getting too thick, cook for 2 to 3 min till the shrimp are tender but cooked through.
- Remove the bay leaves and stir in the parsley. Serve immediately with the hot polenta.
