Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
Kosher salt
4 cups small broccoli florets (about 9 ounces)
6 ounces (heaping 2/3 cup) chive-onion cream cheese
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons everything seasoning, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 1 more minute. Reserve 3 tablespoons cooking water, then drain the potatoes and broccoli.
  • Stir the cream cheese and reserved cooking water in a large bowl until smooth. Add the potatoes and broccoli and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the shrimp with the olive oil and everything seasoning in a medium bowl. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the butter and let melt. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook, turning halfway through, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir the chives into the potato mixture. Divide the potato mixture and shrimp among plates. Sprinkle with more everything seasoning.

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/2 lb red new potatoes, boiled peeled & chopped
1/2 tsp liquid crab boil
1 jar(s) (6oz) button or sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 Tbsp creole seasoning (tony chachere's)
4 oz philadelphia cream cheese
4 oz sour cream
1 can(s) cream of shrimp soup
1/2 c mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 c half and half, as needed
1/4 stick butter
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 lb shrimp, peeled deveined & coarsely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
1/2 c carrots, finely chopped
1/2 medium bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 lb jimmy dean breakfast sausage, hot or mild
1 lb crabmeat, picked through for shells
salt and white pepper to taste
1/2 c crumbled potato chips
1 c parmesan or gouda cheese, shredded
3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In a pot with a spoon full of salt, and 1/2 tsp liquid crab boil, cook the potatoes until done. Let cool enough to handle and peel then chop into 3/4" to 1" pieces.
  • 2. Put potatoes, mushrooms, green onions into a deep baking pan and sprinkle with Creole seasoning. Set aside.
  • 3. In a medium bowl add cream cheese, sour cream, shrimp soup, cheddar cheese and mix until well blended. Set aside.
  • 4. In a large and deep skillet, or Dutch oven melt together the butter and olive oil over high heat.
  • 5. A handful at a time, begin dropping in the shrimp - don't over crowd the pan. Stir and saute them only until they turn pink - *DON'T let them render out their juices.
  • 6. As soon as they loose their gray color, take a strainer spoon and remove them temporarily to a bowl and set aside. Continue until all shrimp are done.
  • 7. Reduce heat to medium and add the onions, celery, carrots, bell pepper and sausage (broken into small pieces). Once vegetables start to soften add garlic and saute until vegetables are soft and thoroughly wilted. When sausage is cooked, spoon out some of the rendered grease and discard.
  • 8. Reduce heat to medium low and add the shrimp to the vegetables and mix well. Begin folding in the cream cheese mixture along with enough half & half to keep the mixture fairly liquid. Taste and add salt & white pepper to taste. The potatoes will absorb the liquid while baking.
  • 9. Pour this mixture over the potatoes in the baking pan, and gently work it into the potato & mushrooms until blended.
  • 10. Evenly layer the lump crabmeat over the potato mixture and gently press it down into the mixture, being careful not to break up the lumps.
  • 11. Spread the Parmesan or Gouda over the mixture then sprinkle the crushed potato chips over the cheese.
  • 12. Bake at 350* F, on middle rack, until the sides are hot and bubbly and the cheese is light brown and crusty, 45 minutes. Garnish with fresh minced parsley. Ahhhhh, C'est ci bon!
