Lobster Shrimp And Andouille Sausage Over Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• For the grits: Bring 2 cups of the chicken stock, the heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of the butter to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat and simmer until the grits have thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. Once the grits are thick and creamy, adjust the consistency with stock, if necessary, and season with salt and pepper.
• For the shrimp and sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sausage and brown, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving all of the fat in the pan. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the pan and saute until the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved sausage and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock to the skillet and reduce a bit to intensify those flavors. Stir in the remaining tablespoon butter at the end, garnish with parsley, and add the lemon juice.

Cut the lobster tails in half with kitchen shears and remove the meat from the shell (save the shells for the sauce recipe below); cut the lobster meat into ½ pieces. Season the shrimp and lobster with the salt and pepper while you heat a large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil, mushrooms, shrimp and lobster then sautè and stir until the lobster and shrimp turn opaque (2-3 minutes). Reduce heat to medium and add the brandy cream sauce and green onions; bring to a boil while continuing to stir to prevent scorching the sauce. Add the cooked pasta and continue to heat and stir to thoroughly heat the pasta (add a little extra cream or milk if the sauce becomes too thick while heating the pasta). Serve Hot with a sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley. *Brandy Cream Sauce* ¼ cup of White Wine 4 threads of Saffron 1 tsp Basil, Dried ½ tsp Thyme, Dried Shells from lobster (see pasta recipe) 1 cup Heavy Cream ½ cup of Chicken Broth 1 ¼ tsp Cornstarch 2 tsp Water, cool tap 2 Tbsp Brandy Salt and White Pepper to taste PREPARATION: Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a small cup and set aside. In a 1 quart sauce pan combine the wine, saffron, basil, thyme and lobster shells; bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and return to a boil over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch and water mixture then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and white pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the brandy, then strain out the shells with a fine mesh strainer. Note: If you are peeling your own shrimp for this dish, increase the amount you purchase to 10 oz weight. Also, to create an even richer flavor you can add the shrimp shells in addition to the lobster shells in step 2 above.

Steps:

• Peel and devein shrimp. Reserve shrimp shells for broth. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon garlic. Cover and refrigerate. Make the shrimp broth.

Add onion, bell pepper and celery and cook briskly, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and stir to combine. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring, until flour-vegetable mixture is well browned. Add tomato paste, paprika, cayenne and remaining garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring well, then add diced tomato and andouille sausage and cook for about 2 minutes. Season mixture generously with salt and pepper.
• Stir in shrimp broth and reduce heat to medium. With a wooden spoon, scrape bottom of pot to dissolve any browned bits. Simmer for about 25 minutes, until gumbo base thickens somewhat. Taste and adjust salt. (You may prepare gumbo base up to this point several hours ahead; bring it back to a brisk simmer before continuing.)
