SUCCOTASH WITH SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP
Succotash embodies the proverb "If it grows together, it goes together." This dish is a celebration of summer: fresh corn, ripe tomatoes and shelled butter beans (also known as lima beans.) Succotash has earned its place of pride in regions across the U.S. - the Midwest, the Eastern Seaboard, and perhaps most notably, the South. This succotash is Cajun-style and a worthy entree, thanks to spicy Andouille sausage and seasoned shrimp. But feel free to leave them out for a satisfying meatless option. The Andouille sausage adds kick, so if you use regular sausage or eliminate it altogether, you can add some heat with ground cayenne and hot sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the butter beans and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
- While the butter beans are cooking, prepare the okra: Spread the okra in an even layer on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Roast the okra for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the Andouille sausage and cook until it's crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the rendered fat in the skillet or Dutch oven, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the corn, tomatoes, lima beans, okra, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and Andouille sausage. Stir, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat.
- As vegetables cook, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then generously season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a separate large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Stir the cooked shrimp into the succotash.
- Add the fresh basil and stir. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Turn off heat and let sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm.
POACHED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with about a 1/2 gallon of water, add the salt and squeeze in the lemon juice; toss the halves in there too for extra flavor. Add the herbs and seafood seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the water with the aromatics.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add shrimp. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are bright pink and the tails curl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the poaching liquid and chill thoroughly before peeling. Serve with lemon wedges and Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- Combine the tomatoes, celery, and onion in a blender and puree to break the vegetables down. Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. Chill before serving with a raw bar.

Steps:
- Place beans in medium bowl. Pour enough cold water over to cover by 3 inches and let stand overnight. Drain.
- Combine 5 cups water, onion slice, celery, garlic and bay leaf in medium saucepan; boil 5 minutes. Add shrimp; simmer just until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, transfer shrimp to bowl. Reserve cooking liquid. Peel and devein shrimp; cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add beans to shrimp cooking liquid. Cover and simmer until beans are tender and liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, adding more water if necessary, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaf and celery. (Shrimp and beans can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
- Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels. Cut into small pieces. Discard all but 1 teaspoon drippings in skillet. Add chopped onion; sauté over medium-low heat until golden, about 10 minutes. Add corn and beans with their cooking liquid; simmer until corn is tender, about 8 minutes. Add shrimp and bacon; stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chives.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
- Poach the shrimp gently. Do not boil the shrimp, as this will toughen them. Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer and then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, or until they are just cooked through.
- Make sure the succotash is cooked through. The corn and lima beans should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve the dish immediately. Poached shrimp and succotash are best served hot.
Conclusion:
Poached shrimp on succotash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The shrimp are tender and juicy, and the succotash is flavorful and colorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
