MIRLITON AND SHRIMP DRESSING



Mirliton and Shrimp Dressing image

Mirlitons, our local squash, are also know as chayote. Any variety of fall squash may be substituted. Diced day-old bread is the best to use for these kinds of dressings; bread crumbs will make the dressing too dry. Mirliton dressing is too loose for a stuffing, so it's always served as a side dish.

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 mirlitons, halved and seeded
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh thyme
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh sage, chopped
1 pound medium Louisiana or wild American shrimp, peeled, deveined, and finely chopped
1/2 cup crabmeat, picked over
4 cups diced day-old French bread
2 cups Basic Chicken Stock
1/2 teaspoon Basic Creole Spices
1-2 dashes Tabasco
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the mirlitons with oil. Place them on a baking sheet cut side down and bake until they are fork tender and easily peeled, about 45 minutes. Set the mirlitons aside to let rest until they are cool enough to handle, then peel and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Increase heat to medium-high, add the fresh herbs and shrimp, and stir frequently, until shrimp are just cooked , 3-5 minutes. Stir in the crabmeat. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced mirlitons and the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Spoon the dressing into a large buttered baking dish and bake until golden brown, 20-30 minutes.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups long-grain white rice
2 medium onions, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes in juice
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), peeled, deveined, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup thinly sliced scallion greens (from 1 bunch)

Steps:

  • Bring water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat in a 4-quart heavy pot, then stir in rice. Cover pot, then reduce heat to low and cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, then keep covered.
  • While rice is cooking, cook onions, celery, and bell pepper in oil and butter in a wide 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until pepper is softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes with juice, water, cayenne, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and simmer, uncovered, breaking up tomatoes with wooden spatula and stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until very thick, 45 to 50 minutes. Add shrimp and simmer, stirring frequently, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add scallion greens and rice and stir until combined well, then season with salt if desired.
  • Rice and tomato sauce, without shrimp and scallions, can be made 3 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled separately in airtight containers. Reheat rice in a colander or large sieve set over a pot of boiling water, covered with a dampened paper towel. Reheat sauce in pot before proceeding.
