Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened.

Stir in minced garlic and harissa paste; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add shrimp to the skillet; cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.

In a saucepan, combine equal parts milk and water and bring to a boil.

Slowly whisk in fine ground cornmeal, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

Stir in butter and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Return shrimp to the skillet and toss with lemon juice; heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Serve shrimp over the creamy polenta.
