Smoked Chicken And Shrimp Bisque Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the onions in the butter in a large rondeau, skillet or Dutch oven over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 45 minutes. Add the shrimp, 3 tablespoons of the salt, 2 tablespoons of the black pepper and 1 tablespoon of the cayenne. Cook until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked, about 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Wrap the bay leaves, sage and thyme in a cheesecloth and tie with twine. Add the sachet to a large stockpot or Dutch oven along with the crab stock, crab boil seasoning, MSG and the remaining 4 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons pepper and 2 tablespoons cayenne. Bring to a boil, add the rice and stir once. Lower the temperature to medium low, cover the pot and cook until the rice is done, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice together with the reserved shrimp mixture and the green onions and parsley. Let cool briefly. While still warm, pipe the mixture into the hog casing with a sausage stuffer and twist into 6-inch sausages.
• Prepare a smoker for smoking at about 200 degrees F. Smoke the sausages until the internal temperature has reached 155 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• Season the chicken and shrimp with the dried oregano, salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Grill the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes each side until cooked through. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.
• In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring constantly until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the garlic, parsley, oregano, vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Slice the chicken diagonally and arrange on a large serving platter with the shrimp. Drizzle with the chimichurri and sprinkle with the pancetta.

Steps:

• Slice chicken breasts and heat in a pan with chicken stock and reserve. Cook pastini then toss with olive oil. In a large bowl mix the pastini with white bread. Saute the onion, celery, red pepper, and chicken then toss together with the pastini. Quickly saute the shrimp and spices and set aside. Meanwhile heat the chicken gravy. Toss the pasta with basil and truffle oil and season with salt and pepper. Place a large spoon of stuffing in the middle of a plate. Put shrimp on top and surround in a pinwheel shape with chicken and dress with gravy.

Steps:

• 1. Shrimp stock: Peel and devein shrimp, reserving the shells. Cover the shrimp and refrigerate. Heat the olive oil in a medium (3-quart) heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the shrimp shells to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until they turn deep orange and are just beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. This step-pan roasting the shells-gives the stock much of its flavor, so take the time to do it carefully. The roasted shells should release a concentrated, toasty, shrimp aroma that will fill your kitchen. Add the wine to the pan, first turning off gas flames to prevent the alcohol from igniting, then boil it over medium heat until all the liquid is evaporated. Add the chicken stock, saffron, celery, onion, bay leaves, and sage. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Partially cover the pan and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, pushing down on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid. Rinse out the saucepan and pour the stock back into it.
• 2. Soup: Whisk the pumpkin, cream, salt (omit if using canned stock), and cayenne into the shrimp stock. Bring the soup to a simmer, then cook very gently uncovered over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, taste, and season with black pepper and more salt if needed. (The soup can be made up to this point up to 1 day ahead store covered in the refrigerator. Keep the peeled shrimp in a resealable bag buried in a bowl of ice in the refrigerator.)
• 3. Finishing the soup: Pour the olive oil into a large sauté pan placed over medium heat. When hot, add the reserved shrimp and sage and cook, tossing often, until the shrimp is just cooked through, pink, and no longer translucent, but not curled into a circle, 2 to 3 minutes. They should still have a tender snap when you bite into them. Arrange the shrimp in warmed serving bowls or a tureen. Bring the soup back to a simmer and then ladle it over the shrimp. Serve right away.
• Variation

• Note:.
• To make fresh pumpkin purée, cut a sugar pumpkin in half and scrape out the seeds. Place it cut side down in a baking dish and pour in about 1/4 inch of hot water. Bake it in a 400°F oven until the flesh is tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Turn the pumpkin halves cut side up to cool. Scoop the pumpkin flesh from the skin and purée it in a food processor until smooth. Transfer the purée to a large sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth and let it drain for 2-3 hours until it is firm enough to hold its shape on a spoon.
• Variation:.
• Substitute winter squash purée, such as butternut or acorn, for the pumpkin.
