Shrimp with Andouille

1/2 lb andouille sausage (preferred, substitute Kielbasa if you must)

1 1/2 - 2 lbs raw, peeled, headed and deveined medium shrimp

Garlic - at least 2 cloves of fresh chopped

1 cup cream (preferably) or half & half (if you must)

3/4 tsp red pepper flakes

3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup chopped scallions

Cooked fettucini (or any cooked flat pasta)

1) Sautee the andouille until it is browned and the fat is rendered out.
2) Add garlic and red pepper and cook until soft (1 minute)
3) Add the cream and shrimp - do not boil this! Simmer until shrimp is done
4) Add the cheese, stir until the sauce thickens somewhat
5) Add the chopped scallions and serve with pasta

I guarentee that people will INHALE this and beg for more.....

*Note - this recipe is flexible....if you want more or less of something go ahead. For heaven's sake don't skimp on the ingredients and DO NOT try to make a "no fat/low fat" version...it will taste awful. Go easy on the red pepper - not everybody likes it as hot as that

Shrimp Scampi

This classic Italian - American dish is easy to prepare and very versatile. Serve it over rice, over linguini or simply from individual gratin dishes accompanied by good crusty bread with which to soak up the buttery - garlic sauce.

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds peeled shrimp, largest you can afford
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
juice of 1 lemon

Heat the butter and olive oil together in a sauté pan. When the foam from the butter subsides, add the shrimp and garlic at the same time, cooking until the shrimp just turn opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add the lemon juice and salt to taste; toss, sprinkle with parsely. Serve immediately.

Recipe name: Shrimp Frite (Fried Shrimp)



Serving size: 2 people, 7 shrimp each

Preparation time: about 30 minutes



Amount/Measure/Ingredient:

14 shrimp, peeled and deveined, large size (16-20 per pound)
14 bamboo sticks (skewers)
1 cup buttermilk, low fat
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper -- ground
1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons parsley -- chopped
1 tablespoon chives -- chopped
4 cups canola oil -- for frying
3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
lemon or lime wedges as a garnish



Preparation:

Peel and devein the shrimp and pat dry; skewer on bamboo sticks from the tail to the head end so that the shrimp is as straight as a pencil, and refrigerate until needed.
Heat the oil in a frying pan to 360 degrees F. Mix the flour with the salt, pepper and cayenne and place it on a plate. Pour the buttermilk on a plate, a little at a time and replenish as needed. Roll the skewers in the flour, dip in the buttermilk and then roll in the flour again to coat evenly. Fry for 3-4 minutes, a few at a time in order not to crowd the pan. (The bamboo sticks should be placed in such a way that only the shrimp is in the oil, not the whole stick.) When done drain on paper towels and continue to cook the remainder. Place the fried shrimp on a plate mounded with shredded lettuce and sprinkle with the chopped parsley and chives. Garnish with lemon and/or lime wedges.

Serve with your favorite tartar sauce, hot sauce, duck sauce, chutney or just salt and pepper.
Suggested Wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris or Fume Blanc
