Sunday Shrimp Etouffee
Florida Grillin Girl
Posts: 5,013
Last night I invited myself over to my brothers house to cook on his egg. I was hungry for a taste of New Orleans so I made some shrimp ettouffe, a recipe from Emeril:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/shrimp-etouffee-recipe/index.html
I made the light brown roux:
Added the trinity, onion, green peppers, celery along with garlic:
After 10 minutes:
Next added the seafood stock and tomatoes. Cooked the sauce with some alder smoke, I like it smokey!
I cooked the shrimp separately to insure they would be cooked perfectly. They are coated with more essence. The corn is coated in mayo, then sprinkled with DP rub and wrapped in foil:
The shrimp in the sauce:
And plated. It was excellent! Tasted just like they make it in N.O.
We also egged up some tilapia marinated in a mango habenero marinade. It was like butta!
For dessert, some fried ravioli stuffed with NUTELLA, and bananas coated with brown sugar:
These were awesome!! The kids loved it!
Another fun night of egging with the family.

Looking good...next time be brave & cook the shrimp IN the etouffee..flavor will substantially improve. Just think of all that shrimpy goodness escaping onto the grill; you want to keep that stuff in the pot, cher.

Celeste, I find that if you cook the shrimp in the sauce, the shrimp can get overcooked very easily. Since we weren't eating it right away, and had other stuff to cook on the egg, I cooked it separately...don't worry, I saved all the shrimp juice and poured it in the sauce with the shrimp.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs.

My spicy chick-fil-a did not cut my craving...LOL

Great job, Faith!
Super pics and nice presentation.
Now I'm super hungry!
-
WOW! Another killer meal
-
Question: What if you wait until about 5 minutes before serving to add the shrimp ? They shouldn't be overcooked then.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Really looks good, can't wait to get my eggs

Faith: Your Etouffee looks superb! Lots of patience to make a nice roux like that, but as you know, it makes all the difference in the world! Those dessert raviolis, great idea! I am sure the kids went crazy for them. Nice job!
-
Very nice Faith I can almost smell it
-
outstanding!! heading to NC beach next week where we pick up fresh shrimp every night, will have to try this!
-
Joe, you gotta try this on your trip. Make up the essence ahead of time and use seafood stock from the grocery store. You will love it.
Thanks everybody! This was a winner.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

You really know how to hurt a guy, the only shrimp I can get is frozen. Can't wait to get some fresh. Once I do though, look out that is definetly on the top of a long list.
Fantastic looking, and great presentation. A feast for the eyes and taste buds.
