Grilled Shrimp And Andouille Po Burgers With Remoulade Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse andouille in a food processor, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Pulse shrimp, ancho, salt, and pepper in the processor, and transfer to the mixing bowl. Gently combine with the remaining burger patty ingredients. Form 8 patties, 1/2 inch thick, and transfer to a wax paper lined sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Combine remoulade ingredients, but not the slaw, in a food processor or blender and puree. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Taste and adjust pepper, cayenne, or salt if necessary. Toss remoulade with the slaw and transfer to a zip-top bag. Refrigerate if not assembling burgers immediately. Preheat oven as directed by the dough package. With a knife, divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Place dough buns, sufficiently spaced and seam-sides down, on a sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray. Set a second sheet pan, its bottom sprayed with cooking spray, on top of the buns, and bake as directed by the dough package. Preheat the oil in a heavy duty pot over medium high heat. Combine in a large mixing bowl the flour, corn meal, salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. Combine in a second mixing bowl the buttermilk, beer, and hot sauce. Cut the ends from the onion and peel. Cut the onion into 4 even rings, then halve the rings and separate into individual crescents of onion. Coat about 1/3 of the onion in the wet ingredients, then toss in the dry ingredients, then gently transfer to the oil. Fry about 10 minutes, until the onions are golden. Remove the onions from the oil with a spider strainer or slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to cool. Repeat in 2 additional batches. Preheat grill to medium high. Spray burger patties on both sides with cooking spray. Grill until shrimp is fully cooked, about 5 minutes per side. Slice buns. Distribute fried onions equally on buns. Place burger patties on buns. Top each burger with equal amounts of slaw. Secure with toothpicks.

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.

Steps:

• Combine peppers, onions, and celery in a bowl and have ready next to the stove. In a large heavy skillet (cast iron is best) heat oil until it just begins to smoke. Gradually add flour, whisking constantly. Continue whisking constantly and cook over medium to medium-high heat until roux is dark brown and very fragrant. Add vegetable mixture and stir with a wooden spoon, continuing to cook, for 2 minutes. Add salt and dry seasonings and garlic and stir to combine, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, then remove pan from heat.
• Place shrimp stock in a large Dutch oven or stockpot and bring to a gentle boil. Gradually add roux mixture to boiling stock, whisking constantly, until completely incorporated and dissolved. Return to a boil and add the andouille, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then add shrimp and turn off heat. Let gumbo sit for 5 minutes to allow shrimp to cook, then serve immediately over a scoop of plain white rice.
• Note: You can do everything in this recipe up to the point of adding the shrimp beforehand; bring gumbo up to a boil before adding shrimp to serve.
• Cooking the roux can be tricky. For safety's sake, wear good oven mitts while whisking (roux can cook to nearly 400 degrees F!) and be very careful not to let it burn on the bottom. If black bits show up in the roux before it is done, you must start over, boo-hoo. If the roux starts to smoke, remove it from the heat for a few minutes and keep whisking?remember that the pan will retain a lot of heat that will continue to cook the roux even off the flame. This is not a quick project! Your patience will be rewarded with a rich, delicious gumbo.
• Peel and de-vein the shrimp and reserve the shells. Refrigerate the shrimp until needed. In a saucepan or stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the shrimp shells and cook, stirring constantly, until shells are pink and fragrant. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add water to the pot to just past the level of the shrimp shells and add peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Skim impurities (i.e., scum) from top of stock and simmer for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Strain stock and reserve.

Steps:

• Chop shrimp finely using a food processor (I used my Pampered Chef food chopper) or grind with a meat grinder using a coarse grinding plate.
• Gently but thoroughly mix shrimp with remaining ingredients.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• NOTE: I eliminated the salt due to the use of celery salt.
• Gently form mixture into six to eight 3/4-inch-thick burgers.
• Cover the burgers and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until needed.
• Grill burgers 5 to 6 minutes on each side, basting with approximately 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce per burger while grilling.
• Serve with whatever you like to dress your shrimp with.
• We used a homemade tartar sauce but I would also consider cocktail sauce or barbecue sauce as well as lettuce and tomato.
