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.

RICE CROQUETTES



Rice Croquettes image

These were made by my grandmother while I was growing up. Whenever she made them, some always made their way to our house. She would make them in the morning and put them on a platter and into the refrigerator they went until suppertime--probably to tighten up. I remember seeing them sitting there with waxed paper over them. These are so good if you mash them a little on your plate and put butter and salt on them. It is a way to use up leftover rice which is what Grammie did. She didn't throw anything away. She even saved all her leftover meat whether it be one hamburg patty, or a hotdog, or a roast and would grind them up at the end of the week and used the following recipe but with meat instead of rice. She would add some chopped onion to the meat. She didn't waste anything. The rice is held together with an egg and white sauce. Grammie never measured so this is about what I use to make mine. The time listed is if you keep them in the refrigerator for a few hours, but you could have them sit only about an hour or so.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 16 croquettes

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound shrimp cooked in the shell (see recipe)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup milk
1/2 cup liquid in which shrimp were cooked
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 cups fine, fresh bread crumbs
Salt, if desired
Freshly ground pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 egg
3 tablespoons water
Oil for deep frying
Newburg sauce (see recipe), optional

Steps:

  • Peel and devein the shrimp. Chop them finely. There should be about two cups. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook until wilted, stirring with a wire whisk. Add three tablespoons of the flour and the paprika, stirring. Add the milk and shrimp liquid, stirring rapidly with the whisk.
  • When thickened and smooth, continue cooking about two minutes. Add the chopped shrimp, egg yolks and sherry. Cook briefly about 30 seconds, stirring.
  • Add half of the bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste and the cayenne. Blend well. Let stand until thoroughly cooled.
