Must have shrimp - Gourmet_Mom - 07-18-2008 OK, that's it! I've gotta get some shrimp this weekend. No only is the shrimp parfait a MUST DO, I just found this great recipe. I thought I did good a couple weeks ago with my version of a shrimp pizza, but I think this will beat it HANDS DOWN! Awesome Al's Shrimp Pie Boys Creole Café Awesome Al's Shrimp Pie is served at Po' Boys Creole Café for $7.25. This recipe is for a serving size of two. Ingredients 1/4 cup yellow onions, finely chopped 2 green onions, sliced 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms 2 tsp garlic, chopped 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp salt 1/4 cup white wine 1 tsp olive oil 12 ounces medium Gulf shrimp, peeled 8 ounces cream cheese 1/2 stick butter 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbsp honey 12 ounces chopped, thawed, well-drained spinach 2 8-inch pizza pie crusts 20 ounces shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese Cocktail sauce (optional) Steal This Recipe® step-by-step Instructions 1. Sauté yellow and green onions, oregano, salt, mushrooms and garlic in olive oil and white wine until soft 2. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp turns a pinkish color 3. Remove from heat and let cool 4. Once cooled, pour into a mixing bowl and add cream cheese, butter, Worcestershire sauce, honey and spinach 5. Mix until there are no lumps of cream cheese or butter remaining 6. Spread 1 cup of the mixture on each pie crust 7. Sprinkle each pie with 10 ounces of shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese 8. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees until each pie is lightly brown on top (check periodically) Optional: serve with a side of cocktail sauce Re: Must have shrimp - cjs - 07-18-2008 I would only change one step in this recipe - adding whole shrimp (along with the onions and mushrooms), it will be very difficult to get a smoothness to the butter and cream cheese. When ( ) I do this I will mix the cream cheese, butter, worcestershire and honey together, then add the spinach to incorporate and then the onion/mushroom mixture and the shrimp. This sound really good! Re: Must have shrimp - Mare749 - 07-18-2008 This sounds really good. Thanks Daphne! And thank you Jean, for the suggestions. I copied those too. Re: Must have shrimp - Gourmet_Mom - 07-18-2008 I agree. I'll probably do like I did last time and saute, then chop. Thanks for the tips Jean! Pizza and parfaits are on the menu for tomorrow. Re: Must have shrimp - HomeCulinarian - 07-18-2008 This sounds really good, and really rich. I was thinking about how it might be converted to an appetizer. I guess the easiest way would be to make the 8" pies and cut them into pieces and serve it to a crowd. Or is there a different kind of crust that could work in a muffin or mini-muffin pan? Re: Must have shrimp - cjs - 07-19-2008 How about on an English muffin, or a lightly toasted bread round and then under the broiler for a minute or two? Be a great little appetizer. |
