Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds medium-large shrimp in their shells, about 42
2 tablespoons Creole Seasoning
16 turns freshly ground black pepper, in all
2 tablespoons olive oil, in all
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 bay leaves
3 lemons, peeled and sectioned
2 cups water
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 dry white wine
1/4 salt
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
12 petite rosemary biscuits, recipe follows
Garnish: Chopped chives

Steps:

  • Peel the shrimp, leaving only their tails attached. Reserved the shells, sprinkle the shrimp with 1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning and 8 turns of the pepper. Use you hands to coat the shrimp with the seasonings. Refrigerate the shrimp while you make the sauce base and biscuits. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the reserved shrimp shells, the remaining Creole Seasoning, the bay leaves, lemons, water, Worcestershire, wine, salt, and the remaining 8 turns black pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, allow to cool for about 15 minutes, and strain into a small saucepan. There should be about 1 1/2 cups. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, and cook until thick, syrupy, and dark brown, for about 15 minutes. Makes about 4 to 5 tablespoons of barbecue sauce base. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp and saute them, occasionally shaking the skillet, for 2 minutes. Add the cream and all of the barbecue base. Stir and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a warm platter with tongs and whisk the butter into the sauce. Remove from the heat. Makes about 2 cups. Mound the shrimp in the center of a platter. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and around the plate. Arrange the biscuits around the shrimp. Garnish with chopped chives.

Yield Makes 4 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 large head-on shrimp (about 2 pounds), peeled and deveined, tails left on, shells and head reserved
1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns
2 teaspoons Emeril's Creole Seasoning (sold in supermarkets) or other Creole seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups water
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, preferably homemade
Juice from 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
Jalapeno Biscuits, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with half of the cracked pepper, 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning, and the rosemary until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp shells and heads and cook, stirring a few times, for 3 minutes. Add the wine, water, Worcestershire, lemon juice, onion, garlic, and hot sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and let gently bubble for 45 minutes. Strain through a coarse strainer; you should have about 1 cup of barbecue base.
  • Heat a 14-inch skillet over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, searing on both sides. Pour in the barbecue base, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the shrimp are cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat; whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, not adding another until the previous piece is fully incorporated in the sauce.
  • Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter or small individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and serve immediately with the Jalapeno Biscuits.
