Gulf Coast Seafood Stew Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by amt2mf

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds raw shrimp, unpeeled, medium-size
2 celery ribs
1 large sweet onion
2 quarts chicken broth, reduced sodium fat free
12 ounces andouille sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 pound small red potatoes, halved
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 fresh bay leaves
2 teaspoons creole seasoning
1 1/2 pounds fresh white fish fillets, (such as snapper, grouper, or catfish), cubed
1 pound cooked crawfish tails (optional)
Kosher salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Peel shrimp; place shells in a saucepan. Refrigerate shrimp until ready to use. Add celery ends and onion peel to pan; chop remaining celery and onion. Using the leftover bits of onion and celery will layer the flavor and result in a flavorful broth. Add broth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring often, 7 to 8 minutes or until browned. Remove sausage; pat dry. Wipe Dutch oven clean. Sauté celery, onion, and peppers in hot oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes or until onion is tender. Add garlic, and sauté 45 seconds to 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in potatoes, next 4 ingredients, and sausage. Pour broth mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into Dutch oven, discarding solids. Increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add fish; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until just opaque. Add shrimp, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink. If desired, stir in crawfish, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until hot. Discard bay leaves. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon seafood into warmed soup bowls. Top with desired amount of broth. Serve immediately with Griddle Corn Cakes and Spiced Mayonnaise.

Time 3h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (2 pound) boneless beef round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 cups chopped onion
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups dry red wine
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
3 bay leaves
2 cups beef broth, or more as needed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cups chopped carrots
3 cups cubed Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup fresh peas
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place beef cubes into a large bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add flour and paprika and toss until evenly coated.
  • Heat oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until dark brown, about 4 minutes per side. Flip or stir gently with a wooden spoon until all edges are dark brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove beef and set aside.
  • Add onions to the beef fat with more salt and pepper; cook and stir until they begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir until aromatic and soft, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it turns brown and begins to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up the flavorful browned bits on the bottom. Let the wine reduce until almost dry again, about 3 minutes.
  • Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, herbes de Provence, and bay leaves. Add 2 cups beef broth and Worcestershire, stir, and bring to a boil. Add the seared beef cubes back into the stew liquid. Remove from heat and cover the pot.
  • Braise in the preheated oven until meat is almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Add carrots, potatoes, and more beef broth if needed. Cover and return to the oven to braise until meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Discard bay leaves. Stir in peas, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Serve hot.
