CAJUN SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE IN CREAM SAUCE



Cajun Shrimp and Andouille in Cream Sauce image

This is a wonderful recipe that I came across on another recipe site. I've modified it slightly to fit my tastes. This sauce is great served over pasta or dirty rice. This recipe is one I typically make for dinner parties or potlucks so it serves a crowd, but it can easily be cut down to a family appropriate amount.

Time 1h10m

Yield Makes eight 4-inch potpies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 leeks, white and pale-green parts only, quartered lengthwise, chopped, and rinsed well
6 ounces andouille sausage, quartered lengthwise and chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup dry vermouth
4 cups fish stock
2 medium Red Bliss potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 pound 8 ounces rock shrimp
2 packages (14 ounces each) frozen puff pastry, preferably Dufour, thawed
All-purpose flour, for surface
1 large egg, lightly beaten for egg wash

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook leeks until soft but not brown, about 7 minutes. Add sausage and garlic, and cook until sausage cooks through and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour to combine.
  • Add vermouth. Let cook for 1 minute. Add stock and potatoes, and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 4 minutes. Add shrimp, and cook until opaque, about 1 minute. Let cool. Divide filling among eight 4-inch (12-ounce) ramekins.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the topping: Roll out puff pastry to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 8 circles that are 1 inch wider than the ramekins; cut a 1/2-inch vent hole in the middle of each. Freeze on a baking sheet for 20 minutes.
  • Top ramekins with frozen puff pastry, and brush with egg wash. Bake until pastry is golden and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

For an andouille crusted rock shrimp recipe, you will need a few essential ingredients that include:
Andouille Sausage
Andouille sausage is a critical ingredient that gives this dish its unique flavor. It's a spicy, smoky sausage that's most commonly used in Cajun and Creole recipes.
Rock Shrimp
Rock shrimp is a type of shrimp that's known for its sweet, delicate taste and has a firm, slightly crunchy texture.
Panko Breadcrumbs
Panko breadcrumbs are a type of Japanese breadcrumb that is used for creating a light, crispy texture in fried foods. They are available in most supermarkets and are great for this recipe because they create an excellent texture and crunchiness.
Flour and Eggs
Flour and eggs are the two ingredients used to create the coating that will hold the andouille crusted rock shrimp together.
Spices
Some of the spices that are commonly used in this recipe include paprika, thyme, garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Instructions

Here are a few tips that will help you prepare a fantastic andouille crusted rock shrimp recipe:
Choose the Right Andouille Sausage
It's imperative to choose the right andouille sausage for this recipe. High-quality andouille sausage will give your dish a rich, smoky flavor. Look for a sausage that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a well-rounded flavor.
Use Rock Shrimp
Using rock shrimp is crucial for this recipe. It has a firm, slightly crunchy texture that will hold up well when coated in the andouille crumb mixture. It's also important to avoid overcooking the shrimp; otherwise, it can become rubbery.
Create a Flavorsome Crust
The crust on this dish is what makes it shine. To create a flavorsome crust, you can add different spices to the panko breadcrumb mixture. Some of the must-have spices for this recipe include paprika, thyme, garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. The Andouille sausage crumble also adds an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
Coat the Shrimp Properly
Proper coating is crucial for this dish. First, you need to coat the shrimp with flour, then dip them into the beaten egg mixture. Once the shrimp is coated with the egg mixture, you can cover them in the andouille crumb mixture. Make sure that the shrimp is coated evenly to ensure that the texture and flavors are evenly distributed.
Use a Deep-Fryer or Skillet
Another essential tip is to use a deep-fryer or skillet to cook the shrimp. Deep-frying the shrimp will give it a crispy texture without making it greasy. If you don't have a deep-fryer, you can use a skillet filled with oil to fry the breaded shrimp.
Serve Hot
When serving this dish, it's crucial to serve it hot. You want your guests to experience the crunchy texture of the shrimp and the rich flavor of the andouille sausage. Leaving the dish out for too long can cause the texture to become soggy and the flavor to dissipate.

Conclusion

The andouille crusted rock shrimp recipe is an excellent dish that's ideal for a quick lunch, dinner party, or a family get-together. It's easy to make and comes with flavors that will leave your guests in awe. With these tips, you can create a perfect dish that is sure to impress your guests.
