Shrimp Croquettes With Creamed Green Peas Recipes

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.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
• Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking," by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch Published by William Morrow, 1993.
• 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, and then the remaining oil. Process until thick and smooth.

Steps:

• Place shrimp shells in a medium saucepan, add 1 quart water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Skim off foam, reduce heat, cover partly and simmer 30 minutes. Strain broth into a bowl and discard shells. Return broth to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle shrimp with salt, toss and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Return broth to a boil and add peas. Boil 2 minutes, until just wrinkled and slightly tender. Scoop out with a skimmer or slotted spoon and set aside. Measure out 1/2 cup broth and set aside.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a wide heavy skillet. Add garlic and chile flakes. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and beginning to color, about 1 minute. Turn heat to medium-high and add shrimp. Cook, stirring, until shrimp turns pink, about 2 minutes. Add peas, cilantro and parsley and continue to toss in the pan for another minute. Stir in 1/2 cup broth and heat through while stirring to deglaze pan. Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve.

Steps:

• PATTIES: Drain liquid from salmon and reserve for sauce.
• Remove bones and skin, and flake salmon.
• Mix all patty ingredients together.
• Form into 4 patties.
• Dip both sides in flour.
• In frying pan, heat oil and fry patties over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides- about 10 minutes.
• SAUCE: While patties are cooking, place peas in colander and rinse with hot water to defrost.
• Drain In saucepan or skillet, melt butter; with whisk, stir in flour.
• Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup reserved salmon liquid and milk, whisking to form a creamy sauce.
• Add dill, salt and pepper, stirring constantly over medium heat until mixture gently boils and thickens.
• Stir in the pea and cook 30 seconds to warm.
• Do not cook peas.
• Place patties on individual plates and spoon the sauce over.
• ***Note: If you prefer, you can place the salmon mixture in 4 greased muffin cups and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
• If using this method, omit the first two recipe ingredients (oil and flour).
• VARIATION: You can substitute lightly steamed fresh asparagus for the peas.
• If using asparagus, do not put in sauce.
• Place asparagus over salmon patties and spoon sauce over both.
