Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, divided
1/2 cup tasso, finely diced
1 cup cornbread crumbs
1/2 to 3/4 cup chicken stock
1 pound lump crab meat, picked through
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds large shrimp, about 10 per pound, peeled with tails on
Melted butter
10 ounces mixed micro greens
Roasted Tomato Aioli, recipe follows
2 egg yolks*
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Dash cayenne
1/2 lemon, juiced
4 roasted garlic cloves
Pinch saffron dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water
3 Roma tomatoes, split and oven dried
1 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion, tasso ham and 2 tablespoons parsley for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant. Combine cornbread crumbs with the sauteed ham mixture in a large bowl. Add chicken stock and blend to evenly moisten. Gently fold in crab meat and remaining parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Butterfly the shrimp by cutting almost all the way through the inside curl of the body. Open flat to resemble a butterfly shape and devein. Spoon 2 tablespoons into the cavity of the shrimp, fold the tail over to hold the stuffing in place. Perch the shrimps on a lightly buttered baking dish, tail side up. Drizzle with some melted butter and bake 10 to 15 minutes. Serve on bed of greens with Roasted Tomato Aioli.
  • Begin with all ingredients at room temperature, they will emulsify more readily. In a food processor or blender, process the yolks, salt, mustard, cayenne, lemon juice, garlic and saffron water. Add the tomatoes and process again. With the motor running, add a few drops of the oil, the mixture will begin to thicken. Then, begin adding the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream. Scrape down the sides of the processor/blender. Check and adjust seasonings.

I'm not a fan of tasso ham, so I used regular ham instead and it was still delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The shrimp were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out overcooked. I think it would be better to cook them for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was an absolute delight! The combination of shrimp, tasso ham, and crab was perfect, and the stuffing was incredibly flavorful. The bacon-wrapped shrimp added a nice touch of smokiness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again!
