CAJUN SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE GRAVY OVER BISCUITS



Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Gravy over Biscuits image

A few years back I was visiting friends in LA, and after a long day of fishing, a wonderful dinner with fresh fish of course, the next day we all woke up famished. Well ... biscuits with sausage gravy was the request, but I wanted to do something a little cajun. Our last vacation day, so it was clean out the fridge, but still trying to make something that resembled biscuits with sausage gravy. After a quick run to a local quick stop to get some cream and biscuits we were set. Well this is the creation, and it is really good. The only thing I have changed since I returned is that I love to add some scallions right at the end for a fresh flavor, but otherwise, pretty much the same. Make this for a breakfast/brunch for family this holiday season. And if you don't want to use andouille, use a spicy or mild sausage along with the cajun spices. And if you bake, make your own biscuits. I'm just not much of a baker, so I take a short cut and use a canned biscuit. We served this with some scrambled eggs and Bloody Mary's (it was the last day of vacation). But skip the eggs, and you won't miss them - this is a very satisfying dish.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

20 medium shrimp (peeled and tails removed)
3 andouille sausages, links (sliced and then diced)
1 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup red pepper, diced (you could use green if that is all you have, red to me are sweeter)
2 scallions, diced (green parts)
3 cups heavy cream (heavy cream is a must for this)
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1/2 hot sauce (more or less to taste)
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon olive oil to saute the vegetables
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Sausage -- In a large saute pan cook the diced andouille on medium heat until cooked through. Don't cook it at too high of a temperature. You want to slowly saute it. Once it is done, remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
  • Sauce -- In the same pan, pour out the drippings from the andouille (no need to clean the pan out, the flavor is fine, you just don't want all the oil) and add the fresh olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add in the onion, celery, red pepper and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes.
  • Deglaze -- Originally I used chicken broth because that is all I had. Now, I like to deglaze with white wine just to get all the bits up off the pan. Add the wine and scrape up the bits from the pan and cook just a minute, then remove from the heat and slowly add in the cream, hot sauce (to taste) and the cajun seasoning and return to the heat on medium low cook until it reduces about 20-30 minutes. The cream will naturally thicken on it's own.
  • Shrimp and Sausage -- After the sauce has thickened, add the sausage back in as well as the shrimp and cook on medium heat until the shrimp begin to curl and turn pink. Add salt and pepper if needed according to your taste.
  • Biscuits -- Now I just used a canned biscuit, so I baked them according to directions, but if you want to make your own, by all means please do.
  • Serving -- Right before serving, add in the scallions and serve this decadent sauce over sliced biscuits.
  • Cook up some of your favorite eggs and serve with some Bloody Mary's for a perfect brunch. This also would make a great lunch or dinner.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely diced (1 cup)
1 medium shallot, finely diced (1/3 cup)
Pinch of dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped tomato (from 1 medium)
4 ounces smoked link sausage, such as Conecuh or andouille, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 heaping cup)
1 cup shrimp stock, low-sodium chicken broth, or water
1 pound medium shrimp (31 to 36 a pound), preferably wild Gulf, peeled and deveined, shells reserved for stock
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons torn or coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 recipe Crusty Buttermilk Biscuits, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle garlic with a pinch of salt; mash into a paste with the side of a knife. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add shallot, thyme, Aleppo pepper, and garlic; reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until shallot turns translucent, 3 to 4 minutes (if onion starts to brown, reduce heat further).
  • Add tomato and a generous pinch of salt; increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, until tomato breaks down, about 3 minutes. Add sausage; cook 2 minutes more. Stir in stock, increase heat to medium-high, and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp and simmer until partially cooked, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on size.
  • Stir in cream and simmer until shrimp are just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more, depending on size. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, and stir in parsley and scallion just before serving. Serve gravy in individual cups with hot split biscuits and spoons on the side.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (12 ounce) package pork sausage links, sliced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen bell pepper, celery, and onion blend (such as Pictsweet® Farms Seasoning Blend)
1 (4 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce (such as Bertolli®)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) box fettuccine noodles
2 tablespoons Italian bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage, frozen vegetables, and mushrooms. Saute until sausage is almost fully cooked, onions are tender, and any liquid from the frozen vegetables has almost fully evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in Creole seasoning, garlic, and pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Add shrimp, Alfredo sauce, and Parmesan cheese. Cook and stir until sauce has thickened and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain fettuccine, top with shrimp-sausage mixture, and sprinkle with bread crumbs and parsley.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your gravy will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful shrimp and sausage, and use a good quality butter and flour.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the shrimp and sausage, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp and sausage in batches: If you're using a lot of shrimp and sausage, cook them in batches. This will help prevent the pan from getting too crowded and will ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the gravy is thick enough: The gravy should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch.
  • Serve the gravy over biscuits: The gravy is traditionally served over biscuits, but you can also serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and sausage gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your gravy mild or spicy, thick or thin, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
