REGAL ALASKAN'S BLACKENED SHRIMP OR HALIBUT



Regal Alaskan's Blackened Shrimp or Halibut image

This recipe was given to me by a chef at the Regal Alaskan Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, while on a fishing trip. This is by far the best tasting fish or shrimp I have ever had, and tons of people agree with me. I have used this recipe several times for large parties and have yet to find anyone not completely satisfied. If you cook the food properly it will not come out burnt, but will have some charring on the outside and be perfect on the inside. My favorite is the blackened shrimp with the cajun hollandaise sauce, it is to die for. (If you don't wish to make the blacken seasoning, I've found Cajun's Choice blackened seasoning to be the best store bought blackened seasoning on the market)

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb halibut fillet, 1/4-1/2 inch thick
1 lb large shrimp or 1 lb prawns, peeled, de-veined, and butterflied
1/2 cup butter, melted (or as much as you need to coat the halibut, shrimp, or prawns)
3 tablespoons paprika
2 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
1/2 cup ham, diced
1/2 cup shrimp, diced
1 -2 teaspoon blackening seasoning, to taste
1/4 cup green onion, diced
1/4 cup tomatoes, diced
1 1/4 ounces mccormick hollandaise sauce mix (prepared)
1 -2 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • This recipe is designed to feed however many people you want. Just adjust the amount of melted butter, blacken seasoning, and hollandaise to accommodate the number of servings you need.
  • For Blacken Seasoning: Mix all ingredients in a bowl making sure to mix everything very well.
  • For Cajun Hollandaise Sauce: Saute the ham and shrimp in butter until the shrimp is cooked thoroughly.
  • Add the blacken seasoning to taste and allow the mixture to cool.
  • After the ham and shrimp mixture has cooled, fold together the shrimp/ham mixture, diced tomato, green onion, and hollandaise sauce.
  • For the Blackened Shrimp or Halibut: For this recipe it is best to use a cast iron skillet or griddle on a bbq grill or an outdoor propane cooker, I prefer a large cast iron skillet and a propane cooker.
  • For shrimp: peel, de-vein, and butterfly the shrimp.
  • For halibut: cut halibut filets to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Heat cast iron skillet to 700 degrees (the skillet will smoke and the bottom will start to turn white) Dredge butterflied shrimp, or halibut filets, in butter then coat one side with blacken seasoning.
  • Place shrimp (or halibut) seasoning side down in the skillet and coat the other side with blacken seasoning.
  • Cook for 2 1/2 minutes and then turn the shrimp (or halibut) and cook until desired doneness (usually only takes about another minute or two) Serve shrimp on a pool of Cajun Hollandaise Sauce, reserving enough sauce to dip shrimp into.
  • This recipe will also work for cooking steaks or thicker pieces of halibut but you need to cook as above and then finish in the oven.
  • WARNING: You will create a large amount of smoke when using this cooking method.
  • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS METHOD INSIDE YOUR HOUSE OR GARAGE!
  • (Unless you wish to invite your local fire department to join you for dinner.) WARNING Number 2: Cooking shrimp or halibut using this method has been known to be extremely addictive once you have tasted the results.

BLACKENED ALASKAN GRILLED HALIBUT WITH OFF THE BOAT TARTAR SAUCE

My father discovered this Off the Boat Tartar Sauce on his fishing trip to Alaska. This sauce may be used as a dip or slathered over the halibut and encrusted on the top during grilling.

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup(s) mayonnaise
1 bunch(es) green onions, chopped
2 teaspoon(s) lemon pepper
4 - halibut steaks
- lemon juice, fresh
4 teaspoon(s) blackening seasoning

Steps:

  • In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onions, and lemon pepper. Squeeze lemon over each halibut steak and season with blackening seasoning or just top with 1/4 cup of tartar sauce, spread to cover one side.
  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. Slightly grease grill. Place tartar encrusted halibut on grill. Grill for 10 minutes or until halibut flakes with fork. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Preheat your grill to high heat. This will help to sear the halibut and prevent it from sticking to the grate.
  • Season the halibut liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder, if desired.
  • Brush the halibut with olive oil. This will help to prevent it from drying out on the grill.
  • Grill the halibut for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the halibut immediately with tartar sauce. You can also garnish the fish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill.

Conclusion:

Blackened Alaskan grilled halibut is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is grilled to perfection and has a slightly smoky flavor. The tartar sauce is creamy and tangy, and it complements the fish perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
