2 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE GUMBO



Shrimp and Andouille Gumbo image

This recipe can be made with prepared stock, but it makes perfect sense to use the shrimp shells you would otherwise discard to make your own, at a fraction of the cost and 10 times the flavor. Don't worry if you don't have all the herbs; the most important ingredients are the shrimp shells, onion, bay leaf and carrot. The stock will still be good even if it's missing a few components.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 large onions, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3/4 cup vegetable oil or lard
3/4 cup flour
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
6 cloves garlic, minced
5 1/2 cups reserved shrimp stock, recipe follows
1 pound andouille sausage, cut in 1/2-inch pieces (half-moons)
Peeled, deveined shrimp, reserved from making stock, below
Plain cooked white rice, for serving
2 pounds medium shrimp, with shells
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, roughly chopped
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
1/2 cup white wine
Water
3 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves (or a couple fresh sprigs)

Steps:

  • Combine peppers, onions, and celery in a bowl and have ready next to the stove. In a large heavy skillet (cast iron is best) heat oil until it just begins to smoke. Gradually add flour, whisking constantly. Continue whisking constantly and cook over medium to medium-high heat until roux is dark brown and very fragrant. Add vegetable mixture and stir with a wooden spoon, continuing to cook, for 2 minutes. Add salt and dry seasonings and garlic and stir to combine, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, then remove pan from heat.
  • Place shrimp stock in a large Dutch oven or stockpot and bring to a gentle boil. Gradually add roux mixture to boiling stock, whisking constantly, until completely incorporated and dissolved. Return to a boil and add the andouille, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then add shrimp and turn off heat. Let gumbo sit for 5 minutes to allow shrimp to cook, then serve immediately over a scoop of plain white rice.
  • Note: You can do everything in this recipe up to the point of adding the shrimp beforehand; bring gumbo up to a boil before adding shrimp to serve.
  • Cooking the roux can be tricky. For safety's sake, wear good oven mitts while whisking (roux can cook to nearly 400 degrees F!) and be very careful not to let it burn on the bottom. If black bits show up in the roux before it is done, you must start over, boo-hoo. If the roux starts to smoke, remove it from the heat for a few minutes and keep whisking?remember that the pan will retain a lot of heat that will continue to cook the roux even off the flame. This is not a quick project! Your patience will be rewarded with a rich, delicious gumbo.
  • Peel and de-vein the shrimp and reserve the shells. Refrigerate the shrimp until needed. In a saucepan or stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the shrimp shells and cook, stirring constantly, until shells are pink and fragrant. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add water to the pot to just past the level of the shrimp shells and add peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Skim impurities (i.e., scum) from top of stock and simmer for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Strain stock and reserve.

SMOKY SHRIMP CHOWDER WITH ANDOUILLE



Smoky Shrimp Chowder With Andouille image

I'm always slightly embarrassed to admit that there are nights when I make my soon to be husband cringe; he'll come into the kitchen and ask what we're having for dinner, and more than likely it's not what he's really hoping for: That's when I feel like throwing in my cooking towel. I mean, I go to all the trouble to make dinners from scratch and he acts as if he's being tortured? He did expand his culinary horizons and loved this soup:

Categories     Chowders

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek, white and light green portions, sliced

1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
4 cups chicken broth
3/4 lb potato, diced
1 cup whole milk
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt
cayenne
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter in a large pot or heavy saucepan. Add the leeks and garlic and cook over medium-low heat until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in the thyme, andouille and Cajun seasoning and cook a few more minutes.

  • When the potatoes are done, pour in milk and bring to a gentle simmer; the soup will thicken slightly - if it gets too thick add more stock or water.

ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE AND CORN CHOWDER



Andouille Sausage and Corn Chowder image

This is a slightly spicy, smoky, hearty corn chowder. The recipe was given to me by a dear friend many years ago and the original source is unknown. I have adapted it to suit my family's tastes. If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can stir in a can of creamed corn. Serve this with cornbread or a crusty French loaf for a lovely meal, enjoy!

SMOKY FISH CHOWDER



Smoky Fish Chowder image

This chowder is a more complex and smoky interpretation of a classic New England fish chowder. Made with hot smoked paprika and a little Vermouth or white wine, it's got more spunk than a simpler, more authentic recipe, without losing the spirit of the sea. If you can't find fish stock, you can substitute bottled clam juice, or even a good, flavorful vegetable stock. Either way, you'll end up with perfectly balanced bowl of soup that needs nothing more than perhaps a few crackers on the side to make it shine.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ounces bacon (about 3 to 4 slices), diced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium leeks, white and light- green parts, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1/4 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
1/4 cup dry white vermouth or white wine
2 cups fish stock, store-bought or homemade
1/2 pound fingerling potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
3 thyme sprigs
2 cups whole milk
10 ounces flaky white fish, such as flounder or cod, cut into 2-inch chunks

Steps:

  • In a heavy pot over medium-high heat, brown bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spoon off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the pot. Add butter and let melt. Add leeks and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika; cook 1 minute. Pour in vermouth and simmer until almost completely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in stock, 1 cup water, potatoes, thyme and remaining salt. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Add milk and cooked bacon to pot; bring to a simmer. Add fish and cook until just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes. Use a fork to flake fish into large pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove thyme. Serve immediately.
