CAJUN-STYLE BROILED SHRIMP

Cajun-Style Broiled Shrimp image

Shrimp, the most versatile seafood, is now the most popular in America, and there is no wrong way to eat it. Wild shrimp from the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico is a treat if you can find it. Fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas is an even rarer gem. (These are all preferable from a sustainability perspective.) A vast majority, of course, is farmed and frozen. If you buy it ''individually quick frozen'' in resealable bags, you can take out only as many as you want and thaw them by leaving the shrimp in the fridge for 24 hours or running them under cool water for an hour or less. Here, it is made Cajun with cayenne, paprika and garlic and quickly broiled.

Cajun-Spiced Grilled Shrimp with Remoulade image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons lemon juice, from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Cajun spice
Kosher salt
1 pound large shrimp (10 to15 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Cajun spice
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt

Steps:

For the shrimp: Add the lemon juice, olive oil, Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them in the spice mixture. Allow the shrimp to marinate while you make the remoulade. Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes.
For the remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun spice, ketchup, mustard, parsley, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp in an even layer. Allow the shrimp to cook for 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until they are just opaque and the tails are pink, about another minute. Remove the shrimp to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve with remoulade.

CAJUN SHRIMP BOIL

Cajun Shrimp Boil image

In New Orleans, a seafood boil, the Southern tradition of gathering around a newspaper-lined table to eat large amounts of boiled shellfish with your bare hands, is all about salt and spice. In the words of Jared Austin, a Mississippi riverboat pilot and seafood-boil master, ''Nothing about any of this is subtle - people standing around the pot should sneeze and cough.'' The key to a successful shrimp boil is layering ingredients into the pot so that everything is done cooking at once: First add the potatoes and sausage, then the shrimp, then the frozen corn to bring the temperature down and prevent overcooking. Let it all soak to absorb the salt and spice, then dump it out onto the table and eat with copious amounts of rémoulade. While this recipe can easily be halved, it's a simple - and extraordinarily fun - way to feed a crowd. Just remember to heed Austin's advice: ''Don't be afraid of cayenne. Don't be afraid to let your nose run.''

Categories seafood, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 (3-ounce) Louisiana or Zatarain's brand seafood-boil seasoning pouches
1/4 cup cayenne-pepper powder
1 1/2 cups kosher salt (or 2/3 cup fine sea salt)
2 yellow onions, peeled and halved through root
3 celery ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 lemons, quartered
4 heads garlic
6 ears corn, shucked and cut into 3-inch pieces
2 1/2 pounds small (2-inch) red potatoes
2 12-ounce kielbasi, cut into 3-inch pieces
6 pounds shrimp, preferably with shells on

Steps:

Fill a very large (24-quart) pot with 8 quarts of water set over high heat. Add seasoning pouches, cayenne, salt, onions and celery. Squeeze lemon juice, and add wedges. Break garlic into cloves, and discard excess skin, then add unpeeled cloves. Cover the pot, and bring to a rolling boil.
Lay corn on a baking sheet in a single layer, then place in freezer.
Taste the water after it comes to a boil. It should be very heavily salted and spiced, with a bright orange foam (when standing near the boiling pot causes you to cough, it's spicy enough).
Add potatoes and sausage to the pot, and let the water return to a boil. Turn off heat, and allow to soak for 10 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Bring the water to a boil, and add shrimp. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn off heat, add corn and allow to soak for 7 minutes. Drain, and serve immediately with rémoulade (preferably on a newspaper-lined table).
