Yield Makes 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Creole Shrimp Filling
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
2 tablespoons flour
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 bay leaf
8 ounces bay shrimp
Topping
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 eggs at room temperature
1/4 cup peeled and diced mild green chiles, fresh or canned (drained)
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup canned cream-style corn
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a large sauté pan or skillet over high heat. Add the onion, celery, and green bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and Creole seasoning, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly, about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and bay leaf. Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and pour the filling into an 8-by-8-inch square or round baking dish. Set aside in a warm area, while preparing the topping.
  • To prepare the topping, preheat the oven to 375°F. Put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Incorporate the eggs one at a time and mix until smooth. Add the green chiles, creamed corn, red and green bell peppers, the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until the mixture forms a soft batter.
  • Carefully dollop the corn bread batter over the filling. Using an offset metal spatula, spread the batter smoothly across the top of the casserole, forming a thin layer. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet in the center of the oven. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack. Cut through the corn bread with a small knife. Scoop 6 to 8 generous portions of the filling and the corn bread into large soup bowls or onto plates.

CRAWFISH CORNBREAD



Crawfish Cornbread image

This recipe was in our local paper during the holidays. I haven't tried it yet but plan to soon. I have had a commercially made version of this and it was fairly good but I think homemade anything is much better! Hope you'll give it a try and let me know how you like it. Edited: I finally made this and it is a wonderful recipe. Many people don't have crawfish, so I think lightly boiled shrimp could easily be substituted for the crawfish. Also, 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning could be added for an extra kick.

SHRIMP AND CRAWFISH ETOUFEE



Shrimp and Crawfish Etoufee image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
2 tablespoons diced yellow onion
1 celery stalk, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Roux, recipe follows
Rum
6 shrimp
8 ounces crawfish tail meat
1 ounce Mama's Green Creole Sauce, recipe follows
Pinch pepper
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch ground thyme
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup long grain white rice
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 cloves garlic
4 jalapeno peppers
2 green onions, cut in half
1 small yellow onion, cut into wedges
1 bell pepper, cut into wedges
1/2 bunch parsley, rinsed
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup flour

Steps:

  • For the Etouffee: Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Saute the trinity (peppers, onions and celery). Add the garlic, and saute until slightly tender. Add the Roux and deglaze with some rum to help break it down (it will flame up). Add 1 to 2 cups purified water to form a sauce. Add in the shrimp, crawfish, pepper, salt and thyme. Reduce the flame to a medium-low simmer. Add Mama's Green Creole Sauce. Stir constantly making sure the roux doesn't burn and is completely dissolved. Taste periodically to confirm desired taste. Simmer 10 to 20 minutes, until the etoufee reaches desired thickness.
  • For Mama's Creole Herb Rice: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the brown rice in 1 cup water, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Cook the white rice in 1 cup water in a rice steamer.
  • After both are cooked, empty the pans onto a cookie sheet. Mix the rice and toss with the oil, thyme and salt to taste.
  • Drench the etoufee over the rice, and serve.
  • Place 2 cups water, the lemon juice, oil, salt, garlic, jalapenos, green onions, yellow onions, bell peppers and parsley in a blender and process until a sauce is formed. If the blender is not large enough, you can make it in two batches.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over low heat. Add the flour and stir until mixture is creamy and there are no lumps. Turn the heat down low and keep stirring until the mixture reaches the desired color (a medium or dark brown). Be careful and pay attention as not to burn the roux-- after it reaches a certain shade of brown it will begin to brown faster.
