Categories     appetizer

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

2 cups water
1 cup long-grain rice (recommended: Zatarain's)
4 tablespoons butter
1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely chopped
8 ounces crabmeat
1 cup finely chopped green onions
1/2 cup finely chopped seeded jalapenos
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, lightly beaten
Vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying
White saltine cracker crumbs
Garlic Aioli, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (recommended: Grey Poupon) or Creole mustard
10 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

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.

CRAB CROQUETTES



Crab Croquettes image

A bite-sized riff on the popular Arabian Gulf seafood dish known as al jasheed, these fried croquettes call for lump crabmeat and swap out the traditional rice for fluffy mashed potatoes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 ripe mango, peeled and roughly chopped
1 small shallot, roughly chopped
1/2 jalapeno chile, seeded and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons ghee
1 medium shallot, minced
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 russet potato (8 to 10 ounces), peeled, cooked, mashed or passed through a ricer, and cooled to room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons strained plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 pound fresh lump crabmeat
1 quart safflower oil
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups panko (or dry breadcrumbs)

Steps:

  • Make the mango dipping sauce: Place mango, shallot, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, and oil in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. If sauce is too thick, thin with water, adding 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Make the croquettes: Heat ghee in a small skillet over medium. Add shallot, bell pepper, and garlic and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, then let cool to room temperature.
  • Place mashed potato, parsley, cilantro, yogurt, and shallot mixture in a medium bowl. Gently fold to combine using a rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Fold in crab.
  • In a deep cast-iron skillet, heat oil until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees. Place flour, eggs, and panko in three separate shallow dishes. Use a scoop or spoon to form the crab-and-potato mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Dredge each ball first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko, ensuring that each ball is fully coated; shake off any excess.
  • Working in batches, transfer croquettes to hot oil using a slotted spoon or spider, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a a paper towel-lined baking sheet; season with salt. Serve croquettes with mango dipping sauce.

CRABMEAT OR SALMON PATTIES



Crabmeat or Salmon Patties image

These are from the Sunset Seafood cookbook (1985). The recipe is written for crab, but we've been subbing canned salmon in them for years. We like them with Vegan Fried Celery & Cabbage (Recipe #21095) on the side.

Provided by OliveLover

Categories     Crab

Time 25m

Yield 8 patteis, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

20 saltine crackers, crumbled, enough to make 1 cup, whole wheat work great
2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans each crabmeat or 2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans each red salmon, drained well
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons butter (or more, if you like things rich)
chopped parsley (to garnish)
4 lemon wedges (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Finely crumble crackers into a bowl; you should have 1 cup of coarse meal. Flake crab meat or salmon into bowl with crumbs, breaking up any skin and bones if using the salmon (or remove them if you prefer). Add Worcestershire, hot sauce, parsley, mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix until blended. Add egg and blend well.
  • Shape mixture into 8 patties. Lay them on waxed paper or parchment near the frying pan. In a frying pan (I prefer cast iron), melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Cook 4 patties until browned, about 3 minutes. Add another 1/2 tablespoon of butter, turn and brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining butter and patties. You can keep the first batch warm in the oven.
  • To plate, sprinkle patties with chopped parsley; serve with lemon wedges.

SALMON CROQUETTES



Salmon Croquettes image

These croquettes have what may just be the perfect texture combination: crispy outsides and tender insides. Made from simple ingredients, they're also a great use of leftovers, putting to work those halves of onion and bell pepper from last night's dinner, and any remaining salmon, though you can also use canned (boneless works best). The filling may be a little delicate when you put it together, but a quick pop in the fridge or freezer makes it easier to work with. Serve the croquettes alone as an appetizer with tartar sauce or hot sauce, or make them a bigger meal alongside grits.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, seafood, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 main-course servings, 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14-ounce) can boneless, skinless salmon or 1 pound cooked salmon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup diced onion
1 garlic clove, grated
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons seasoning of choice, such as onion powder, garlic powder, paprika or a combination
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
Tartar sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • If using canned salmon, drain and discard the liquid. Flake the salmon into a large bowl; set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium and sauté peppers and onions until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds; let cool slightly.
  • Add the sautéed veggies to the bowl with the salmon, along with 1 egg, 1/4 cup flour, the parsley, seafood seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or pop into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Using your hands, shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch-thick patties.
  • Set up three separate plates or shallow bowls: one filled with the remaining 1/4 cup flour, another with the egg and a third with the panko. Season the panko with the seasoning of your choice, then lightly dip each croquette into the flour, egg then panko, coating to cover. Set the croquettes aside.
  • Wipe out the same pan, and heat about 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil over medium. Drop a bread crumb in the oil, and see if it sizzles.
  • Gently place croquettes in oil, making sure not to crowd the pan, and pan fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm, with tartar sauce or hot sauce if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, wild-caught salmon and crab meat will give your croquettes the best flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon. It should be cooked through, but still moist and flaky.
  • Make sure the mixture is well-chilled before you form the croquettes. This will help them hold their shape when they are fried.
  • Use a light touch when frying the croquettes. You want them to be golden brown and crispy, but not overcooked.
  • Serve the croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, remoulade, or a simple lemon-butter sauce all pair well with salmon and crab croquettes.

Conclusion:

Salmon and crab croquettes are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual get-together.
