Help! I'm undergoing gulf shrimp withdrawal! On my Louisiana Seafood adventure I ate shrimp every unmarried solar daytime in addition to never got tired of them inwards the least. In Louisiana at that topographic point are white shrimp, brownish shrimp in addition to freshwater shrimp. I specially liked the flavorful brownish shrimp I tried, though they are less pop than the larger white shrimp.
Shrimp from the gulf are sweetness in addition to succulent in addition to perfectly prophylactic to eat. At the Sustainable Foods Institute (part of Cooking for Solutions at the Monterey Bay Aquarium) I spoke alongside scientists who told me that the shrimp population came dorsum rapidly later the petroleum tumble inwards the gulf in addition to the testing has non shown whatever signs that the seafood is contaminated. Fortunately Louisiana gulf shrimp are available all over the province in addition to are actually worth seeking out for their superior flavor in addition to texture in addition to because they are harvested inwards a to a greater extent than sustainable agency than the inexpensive shrimp yous abide by imported from Asia.
So how many ways are at that topographic point to consume shrimp? Probably to a greater extent than than I tin count, but hither are my absolute hand's downwards favorites from the trip:
Barbecue shrimp from GW Fins, upper left manus corner. Now barbecue shrimp inwards Louisiana are non "throw a shrimp on the barbie" Australian shrimp, or doused inwards Texas mode barbecue sauce, they are cooked inwards butter in addition to spices in addition to positively delicious. I constitute this recipe online, in addition to so yous tin endeavour making them at home. Now if I could only acquire my hands on the savory Jazzmen rice pudding recipe that accompanied the shrimp...
Shrimp boil is next, shown inwards the upper correct manus corner. But here's what I learned almost shrimp boil. It's shrimp poached gently inwards a spiced broth, off the heat! The shrimp never acquire boiled, only the seasoning mix in addition to cooking liquid. This was tidings to me, but explains why yous cease upwards alongside such juicy shrimp, it's in all probability the most gentle agency to laid them. Cooking them inwards the shells helps forestall them from overcooking in addition to all the same they exercise receive got on the flavor of the "boil."
Shrimp remoulade is inwards the bottom correct manus corner, every bit served at Mandina's. My thank yous to Pim for introducing me to this neighborhood precious rock in addition to my other charming in addition to enthusiastic dining companions–Adam aka the Amateur Gourmet in addition to Chichi who writes for Serious Eats. The undercover to this dish was of cast the remoulade sauce, which was heavily spiked alongside horseradish. Yum! Horseradish makes pretty much everything sense of savour better. Especially remoulade sauce.
Last but non least, fried shrimp (and only about oysters too). This was only about other dish at Mandina's in addition to piece I never got my hands on a po' boy, this was the same thing, only no bread. More shrimp! The folks inwards New Orleans know how to tike their nutrient in addition to so every affair is crisp in addition to greaseless. Seriously, they are deep frying experts in addition to I am happy to acquire out the frying to them.
What's your favorite agency to bask shrimp? Shrimp etouffée? Shrimp bisque? Is at that topographic point a detail NOLA mode shrimp dish yous love?
