Seafood Sausage With Lemon Herb Sauce Recipes

SEAFOOD SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute shallots until soft and sweetened, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Combine sole, salmon, and shrimp in a food processor. Add bread crumbs. Pour in egg whites and whole egg. Season with kosher salt and cayenne pepper. Add the cooled shallots and parsley.
• Cover processor and pulse on and off, starting with short pulses and transitioning to longer ones, until mixture is well blended and clumps together at the blade. Transfer mixture to a bowl, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Transfer 1/4 of the sausage mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a log with dampened fingertips. Roll in the plastic, twisting the ends to seal. Lay the log onto a piece of aluminum foil and roll it up. Twist the ends in opposite directions, but not too tightly. Fold the ends back. Repeat with the remaining sausage mixture.
• Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Add the sausages and submerge them with a plate. Cover pot and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
• Transfer sausages into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the water and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Peel foil off of the sausages over a piece of paper towel. Snip off 1 end of the plastic wrap and squeeze the sausage out through the opening. Trim off any unsightly chunks.
• Melt remaining butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook sausages in the hot butter, turning until browned all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sausages reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 5 to 6 minutes more. Repeat with remaining sausages.
• Pour water and lemon juice into the same pan and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by 1/2, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add cold butter and parsley. Swirl pan until butter is melted; season with salt and swirl once more. Spoon sauce over the sausages.

SEAFOOD SAUSAGE WITH LEMON HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Puree the sole, chill covered 30 minutes. Chop shrimp and salmon, chill 1 1/2 hours. Blend sole puree, eggs, cream, s&p. chill, covered, for 1 hour. fold in shrimp, salmon and parsley. Divide in half on 12" cheets of plastic wrap. Form into logs, wrap. Warap again in foil. Poach in simmering water for 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Slice into rounds to serve, or chill before slicing, overnight. For the Lemon sauce: boil the wine, lemon juice, and vinegar until reduced by half. Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter, bit by bit, lifting pan from heat to keep from liquefying. Whisk in lemon rind, scallion, parsley, dill, cayenne and salt to taste. Pour suace on individual plate or on platter, arrange sausage rounds in slices and then garnish with more parsley or some dill.

SEAFOOD SAUSAGE WITH LEMON HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the seafood sausage In a food processor, puree the sole, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times, and in a bowl chill the puree, covered for 30 minutes (the times on all these "chilling" times are exaggerated). In another bowl, chill the shrimp and salmon, covered for 1 hour (they were both cold, I didn't chill them together, but maybe it does make a difference). In the food processor blend the sole puree, the eggs, the cream, the salt and the pepper until the mixture is combined well (it goes fast, probably not more than 30-40 seconds). Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and chill it, covered, for 1 hour. Fold the shrimp, the salmon, and the parsley into the sole mixture. Divide the mixture between two 12-inch-square sheets of Saran wrap, and form it into 2 "logs" (about 8-9 inches each) using the Saran wrap to roll it, twisting the ends securely (This works better than one might think). Wrap the sausage securely in aluminum foil (Heavy duty is probably best). Poach the sausages in a kettle of simmering water for 10-15 minutes (15 minutes works) or until a metal skewer inserted into the center comes out hot (???) Transfer the sausages to a cutting board and let them stand for 10 minutes, still wrapped. Make the sauce In a small, heavy saucepan, boil the wine, the lemon juice and the vinegar (or water in my case) until the mixture is reduced by half. Reduce the heat to low, and whisk in the butter, bit by bit, waiting for each bit to melt before adding the next (that's why I used grated frozen butter), lifting the pan from the heat occasionally to keep the butter from liquifying. Whisk in the lemon rind, the scallion, the parsley, the dill, the cayenne and salt to taste. Pour the sauce onto the platter, on it arrange the sausages, unwrapped, and cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices with a serrated knife, and garnish the dish with the shrimp and scallion greens. Serves 4 as a main course.

HERB AND LEMON SAUCE FOR SHRIMP AND PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions only until just al dente; drain; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet (I love making this in my wok!). Add lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and oregano; saute over medium heat 2 minutes.
• Add shrimp and saute until opaque, about 4 minutes. Note that shrimp should almost be fully cooked at this stage, but not completely, so don't overcook this step or shrimp will be tough.
• Add parsley, green onions, salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute longer.
• Stir in lemon juice and cook another minute, then add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese; toss well and serve immediately.
• Serve with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
