Best 3 Poulet Aux Crevettes Chicken With Shrimp Recipes

POULET AUX CREVETTES (CHICKEN WITH SHRIMP)

Steps:

• PREHEAT THE OVEN to 375°F.
• LIGHTLY SEASON the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Coat each in flour, patting to remove excess. Heat the butter in a saute pan or ovenproof skillet, add the chicken breasts, and cook over medium-high heat until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Spoon off and discard excess butter from the pan; add the shrimp, tomato, wine, cream, shallots, and garlic. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to individual warmed plates and season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the chicken, sprinkle each plate with parsley, and serve immediately.

POULET AUX ECREVISSES (CHICKEN WITH CRAWFISH OR SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
• Heat one and one-half tablespoons of the butter and the oil in a heavy skillet, and add the chicken pieces skin-side-down. Cook until nicely browned, about two minutes. Turn and cook on the second side about three minutes or until nicely browned.
• Remove the chicken pieces. Pour off the fat and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Add the shallots, carrots, onion and garlic. Cook over low heat, stirring, about 10 minutes.
• Add the Cognac and wine and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Add the tomato paste, saffron, salt and pepper, and stir. Cover closely and cook over very low heat 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the crawfish or shrimp in a saucepan and add cold water to cover. Add salt, pepper, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to the boil and let simmer two minutes. Let stand briefly.
• Peel and devein the crawfish or shrimp. Set aside.
• When the chicken is ready, add the cream, tarragon and cayenne, and stir. Add the crawfish or shrimp, bring to the boil and heat thoroughly. Serve with rice.

SHRIMP CROQUETTES (CROQUETTES DE CREVETTES)

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp. Chop them finely. There should be about two cups. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook until wilted, stirring with a wire whisk. Add three tablespoons of the flour and the paprika, stirring. Add the milk and shrimp liquid, stirring rapidly with the whisk.
• When thickened and smooth, continue cooking about two minutes. Add the chopped shrimp, egg yolks and sherry. Cook briefly about 30 seconds, stirring.
• Add half of the bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste and the cayenne. Blend well. Let stand until thoroughly cooled.
• Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball. Roll the balls in the remaining one-quarter cup of flour. Mold them into the desired form: spheres, cylinders, pyramids or flat cakes.
• Beat the egg with the water. Roll the croquettes in the egg mixture and then in the remaining bread crumbs. Press to help crumbs adhere. Shake off excess.
• Heat the oil for deep frying. Add the croquettes a few at a time and cook about four minutes or until golden brown. Serve, if desired, with Newburg sauce.
