EMERIL'S SHRIMP STEW



Emeril's Shrimp Stew image

Posted from "Every Day's a Party" by Emeril Lagasse; posted for ZWT 5. From the intro to the recipe - "Shrimp stew is practically a staple dish in the area of Louisiana known as Acadiana, in the southern part of the state. Old time cooks garnished the dish with chopped hard-boil eggs. If you can, purchase shrimp with the heads and tails intact so that you can use them to make a stock. (In a pinch, you can substitute 1 quart of chicken broth.)"

SHRIMP STEW FOR TWO



Shrimp Stew for Two image

A stew should be as comforting to cook as it is to eat. In this effortless one-pot meal, a spicy, aromatic broth is tinged red with gochugaru, a Korean red-pepper powder. You want to use jumbo shrimp or prawns for this; be sure to get shell-on crustaceans (and head-on if you can), as they're essential to flavoring this simple dish with their incredible nuttiness. Bitter greens and sweet radishes add vegetal heft as well as complexity to the broth, which you should definitely sop up with bread or rice. If seafood dishes like bouillabaisse, cioppino and maeuntang excite you, then this brothy wonder will delight and nourish.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, thinly sliced crosswise
Salt and black pepper
4 large garlic cloves, finely grated
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons gochugaru, plus more to taste (see Tip)
8 ounces broccoli rabe, Tuscan kale or other sturdy bitter greens, coarsely chopped
8 to 10 shell-on jumbo shrimp or 4 tiger prawns, preferably head-on, deveined (about 8 ounces)
6 ounces radishes, thinly sliced (1 ½ cups)
1 tablespoon fish sauce, plus more to taste
Pinch of granulated sugar, plus more to taste
Toasted crusty bread or steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high. Add half of the shallots, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and starting to brown at the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the olive oil and gochugaru, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Raise the heat to high and add 2 cups water. Scrape the stuck-on bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, and bring the broth to a boil.
  • Add the broccoli rabe and nestle in the shrimp. Reduce the heat and gently simmer the shrimp, turning them once halfway through, until pink and just barely cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. The broccoli rabe should be bright green and considerably wilted.
  • Stir in the remaining shallots, the radishes, fish sauce and sugar. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, gochugaru, fish sauce or sugar as needed.
  • Serve the stew in wide bowls with a plate on the side for the shrimp shells, and some crusty bread or steamed rice for sopping up the aromatic juices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Add the shrimp at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent it from overcooking.
  • Serve the stew immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Rustic shrimp stew is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. If you are looking for a hearty, flavorful stew that is sure to please everyone at the table, then this recipe is for you.
