Place shrimp, potatoes, and corn on top of the sheet and place the sheet on the dining table for everyone to serve themselves. If you are a neat freak, place shrimp, potatoes, and corn in a serving dish to pass at the table.

DEEP-SOUTH SHRIMP AND CRAWFISH STEW



Deep-South Shrimp and Crawfish Stew image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried thyme, ground to a powder with a mortar and pestle
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil, ground to a powder with a mortar and pestle
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pound crawfish, rinsed well in several changes of cold water and eviscerated
1 pound (31 to 40 size) shrimp, deveined
1 large clove garlic, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade and minced
4 to 6 scallions, white and tender green parts only
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
1/2 cup grated Gruyere
White pepper
Salt, if needed
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves (from about 3 large sprigs)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons grated Cheddar
1 teaspoon Irvine Spices Cajun Seasoning
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled while still warm, and chopped

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  • To a 1-gallon plastic bag add paprika, ground thyme, salt, ground black pepper, basil, and chili powder, and shake to combine. Add the crawfish and shrimp to the bag in batches and shake to coat. Add the crawfish and shrimp a little at a time to the boiling water so as not to stop the boil, and let cook until pink and the crawfish is curled. As they are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the crawfish and shrimp to a platter and set aside until they are cool enough to handle. Remove the shells from the crawfish and shrimp and add the shells back to the pot of cooking liquid, and allow to reduce by two-thirds. (The shells of crawfish are removed by cracking the tail with both hands and forcing it back out through the curve of the tail.) Reserve the crawfish and shrimp meat until needed. When reduced, strain the cooking liquid into a bowl.
  • For the sauce:
  • In another saucepan, combine the garlic, scallions, bay leaf, nutmeg, if using, and butter over medium heat. Add flour to make a roux and allow it to cook until blond, then begin whisking in the milk. Into the bowl of reduced seafood cooking liquid, whisk the Cheddar and Gruyere cheeses. Add this to the milk mixture and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat, season sauce, to taste, with white pepper, and salt if needed. Remove and discard bay leaf. Immediately put a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make a topping by adding bread crumbs, parsley leaves, Parmesan, Cheddar, Cajun seasoning, horseradish, and hard boiled eggs to a small bowl and combining with a wooden spoon.
  • Fold the crawfish and shrimp into the sauce a little at a time so you can control the amount of sauce to the amount of seafood. (Do not feel compelled to use all of the sauce.) Spread the mixture into a 3 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with the topping and heat about 5 minutes in the oven until the topping is browned. Serve family style, garnished with parsley sprigs.

  • Be sure to clean the seafood thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any grit or sand.
  • Season the seafood with a variety of spices to add flavor. Cajun seasoning is a popular choice, but you can also use other spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Crawfish and shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough.
