Shrimp Remoulade

Aug 31, 2011 8 Replies

This is a quick and tasty light dinner. You may have to order some of the stuff online, if you live in some deprived part of the world.


1 pound small white, preferably Gulf, shrimp, room temp

Jar of Zatarains liquid seafood boil



Jug of Arnaud's Remoulade sauce



Lettuce, romaine is good


Boil a quart or so of water, add a tablespoon of Zatarains and some salt, add shrimp and simmer until just cooked inside, 5 or 6 minutes. Good ventilation is good.



Let shrimp cool, peel. Deveining is for wimps.



On a plate, make a bed of lettuce. Pile shrimp on top, dab with sauce.



Serve with french bread and Purple Haze.


I'd post my recipe for shrimp and grits, but that's a lot more typing.

Do you have to add any oil or is there enough left from the BP disaster?

You have no idea how voracious life is in a tropical climate like Louisiana and its waters. The bugs will inhale the output from a blown well and ask for more. They have been consuming natural oil seeps for millions of years, and like the stuff.

It's hydrogenated soybean oil that will kill you.

If it costs 8 dollars, it's polenta. If it's $1.50, it's grits.

Unless you're in NY. Then the prices reverse.

Fancy restaurants here have discovered grits for dinner; maybe it's the Katrina diaspora. But they usually do it wrong, more like lumpy mashed potatoes.

The drought has completely destroyed the Alabama grits harvest.

Yeah, those grits plants are pretty fragile.
