SHRIMP REMOULADE

5 to 8 lbs peeled Shrimp

I use Zatarain's Seafood boil - bag of spices. They also have it in a powder or liquid form. Add some of the liquid if you want stronger flavor.
Quarter a lemon - squeeze and throw in the pot with the shrimp
Add a dash or two of salt.
Bring water to a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Then put in the shrimp for ONE MINUTE!
Drain the water, cover and set aside

Remoulade sauce:

(this makes a bunch so you may want to eyeball some of these ingredients to fit the amount of shrimp you have.)

1 Qt. Hellman's Mayo
3/4 bottle Heinz Chile sauce (spicy ketchup)
1 small jare Zatarain's Creol Mustard (or Grey Poupon)
2 heaping Tbl. Horseradish (or to taste)
1 small can Anchovies
1 Tbl. Tabasco - original recipe
1 tsp. Cayenne pepper (or to taste!!!)
2-3 Tbl. Sherry
2-3 Tbl. Anais Liqueur
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. course ground pepper


Blend above ingredients in a large bowl.

Then fold in the following:

Finely grated Celery
4 hard boiled Eggs - grated
Finely Chopped green onions
Finely Chopped fresh parsley
1 small jar Capers

Then fold in the shrimp.

Chill and serve.

This is GREAT prepared the night before to allow flavors to blend.

Serve with tortilla chips or Clubhouse crackers!

Enjoy!!! NOTE: Be sure to set aside enough for yourself. There will NOT be any leftovers!!! :o)

The secret to cooking fish is to soak it in some milk for about 30 min before cooking it. I takes all that "fishy" taste out of it.

It is a VERY good tasting fish :winkgrin

Oyster Rockefeller
Emeril Lagasse

Ingredients
2 dozen large oysters, shucked, with all their liquor and the deeper halves of their shells reserved and scrubbed
1 bottle of clam broth
2 sticks butter, cubed
1 cup flour
1 cup minced onions
3 tablespoons anchovy paste
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 pounds fresh watercress, washed, patted dry, trimmed, and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds fresh spinach, washed, patted dry, trimmed and finely chopped
1/2 cup Herbsaint
Rock salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Drain the oysters and liquid through a fine mesh strainer. You should have 3 cups of oyster liquor, if not add enough clam broth to make up for the difference. In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the anchovy paste, garlic, watercress, and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the oyster liquor and bring the liquid up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the sauce is thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the Herbsaint. Reseason with salt and pepper if needed. Spread the rock salt evenly over a large sheet pan. Arrange the oyster shells on the baking sheet. Place the oysters back in their shells. Season the oysters with salt and pepper. Place a heaping spoonful of the filling on top of each oyster. Using the back of the spoon, gingerly pat the filling into the shell. Sprinkle the top of the oyster with the grated cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes or until the sauce is golden brown and the oysters have curled. Remove from the oven and serve on a large platter. Serve the oysters with fish forks and fresh lemons.

Anyone have any idea what anchovy paste and Herbsaint is?

[Sister Alvear]

Sherri and I ate some good lobester in Brazil...it was awesome...

[Sinatra]

Esther, Herbsaint is an anise-flavored liquor. You can buy anchovy paste at the grocery store. It is usually found near the tuna or on the spice aisle.


ETA: Anchovy paste comes in a tube similar to tomato paste or tooth paste. You can also make your own.

you can also use crab meat instead of shrimp.. do the same things only add the soup and cook for a few minutes before adding crab meat, then add everything else.

right before I poured it into the casserole dish, I added chopped green onions and chopped parsley too
