Shrimp And Rice Croquettes With Aioli Recipes

ONE PAN SHRIMP AND RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice well and place it in a large bowl. Cover with water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes or until you can easily break one grain of rice. Drain well.
• In a large deep pan (with a lid), heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, peas, and parsley. Season with kosher salt. Cook for 3 minutes or so, tossing regularly. Add coriander, Aleppo pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or so, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables have soften a bit.
• Add the rice (well drained) and season with a good pinch of kosher salt. Add water. Bring to a boil until the liquid has reduced by about 1/2 (you should be able to see the rice, liquid should be barely covering the top). Turn the heat to low. Cover and let the rice cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until fully cooked and not hard nor chewy.
• While the rice is cooking, pat the shrimp dry and toss with a bit of kosher salt.
• Uncover the pan and add the shrimp nestling it into the rice. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more or until the shrimp is pink and fully cooked.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!

ULTIMATE SHRIMP-CRAWFISH-CRAB CROQUETTE BURGER WITH GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• For the aioli, combine the egg yolks, mustard and garlic cloves in a food processor. While processing, add 1 cup of the olive oil in a fine stream to make an emulsion. Add lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, then add the remaining oil and process until thick and smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
• For the croquettes, cook the rice in 2 cups of boiling salted water for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Add the butter while the rice is still hot. In a mixing bowl, stir flour and eggs to make a light batter. Add rice, green onions and jalapenos; mix well. Add shrimp, crawfish, crabmeat, lemon juice and seasonings. Combine until incorporated but DO NOT OVERMIX to not break up crabmeat. Refrigerate this mixture for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Shape the mixture into patties the size of buns and about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick and coat with cracker crumbs. (An ice cream scoop helps keep portion sizes the same.) Heat oil in a 10-inch iron skillet until bubbles come up from the bottom of a wooden spoon when inserted. Oil should be hot but not smoking. Fry the croquettes over medium to medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel. Season with a sprinkle of salt.
• Grill halved rolls over medium heat until toasted. Spread garlic aioli on each half. Place 1 croquette on bottom half of roll; top with slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles/jalapenos. Top with other half roll. Serve with your favorite spicy potato chips.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• In a large non metal mixing bowl, dissolve yeast with warm water, add honey and stir. Allow yeast to activate and begin to bloom. Add 4 cups flour, salt, oil, beer and beaten eggs.
• Stir with wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed. Turn out and onto heavily floured surface. Work this flour into the dough, by kneading 10 to 15 minutes as the dough will be sticky. Knead until smooth and it "comes back" when pushed with your finger. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, roll dough to coat, cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place until doubled in size.
• When dough has doubled, punch down in the middle and let rest for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 8 to 12 (3-inch) rolls. Smooth, place on baking sheets and brush with melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise a second time until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter and cover with waxed paper until cooled.

CINDY'S SHRIMP AND CRAB CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the rice, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until done, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pot from the heat and add the butter to the warm rice and stir to incorporate. Next, add the shrimp, crab, onions, jalapenos, lemon juice, salt, pepper and Essence and stir to combine. Stir in flour and eggs. Be careful not to break up the crabmeat when mixing the ingredients. Transfer the mixture to a storage container and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• In a large heavy-bottomed sauce pan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)
• Remove the croquette mixture from refrigerator and shape into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick patties and coat with white cracker crumbs. Use an ice cream scoop to keep portion sizes the same.
• Fry the croquettes until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Serve with Garlic Aioli.
