GRILLED SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE WITH HOT RAVIGOTE SAUCE

Steps:

• PROCEDURE: Prepare a grill by lighting the charcoals or heating a gas grill on medium heat. Heat the butter in a medium non-stick saute pan over high heat, add the onion and cook 1 to 2 minutes until soft but not browned. Stir in the capers, garlic puree, Creole seasoning, black and white pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt, cooking 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, mustard, horseradish, Worcestershire and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes whisking occasionally until sauce thickens. Add in the butter whisking until completely incorporated. Set aside until needed. Reheat the sauce before serving. Slice the andouille into 36 (1/2-inch) diagonally cut slices. Place the andouille and shrimp in a medium bowl, drizzle with the oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the Creole seasoning, mixing to evenly distribute it among the andouille and shrimp. Alternately thread 3 pieces of andouille and 2 shrimp onto each skewer. Repeat with the remaining skewers. Turning once or twice, grill 6 to 7 minutes until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Serve 2 skewers per person with a portion of Hot Ravigote Sauce.

MUSSELS ON THE HALF SHELL WITH RAVIGOTE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook mussels in wine, covered, in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until mussels just open wide, checking frequently after 4 minutes and transferring open mussels to a shallow baking pan using a slotted spoon. (Discard any mussels that remain unopened after 8 minutes.) When cool enough to handle, detach meat and discard 1 half shell from each mussel. Reserve meat and remaining shells.
• Peel and halve egg, then force it through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl using back of a spoon. Whisk in oil, vinegar, onion, capers, mustard, parsley, chervil, chives, salt, and pepper until sauce is combined well. Add mussels, stirring to coat, then chill mussels in sauce, covered, at least 1 hour.
• Arrange half shells on a large platter and spoon a mussel with some sauce into each shell.

POACHED SALMON IN RAVIGOTE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except water and salmon in a small bowl and set aside at room temperature.
• When ready to cook the salmon, bring the water to a boil in a stainless steel saucepan. Place the salmon steaks in the pan and bring the water back to a boil over high heat. (This will take about 2 minutes.) Immediately turn off the heat or slide the pan off the heat if using an electric stove, and let the salmon steep in the hot liquid for 5 minutes. (The steaks will be slightly underdone in the center; adjust the cooking time to accommodate thicker or thinner steaks and to satisfy taste preferences.)
• Remove the steaks from the liquid with a large spatula or skimmer, drain well, and place a steak on each of six warm plates. Sponge up any liquid that collects around the steaks on the plates with paper towels and spoon the sauce over and around the steaks. Serve immediately.
