[Hopefull Romantic]

Hi there

The best I can do is a seafood gazpacho or crawfish etoufee, that you should be able to substitute shrimp for the crawfish.

Seafood Gazpacho

32 oz Low Salt V8
8 oz Clam Juice
12 oz shrimp, peeled & deveined
12 oz bay scallops
1/2 of 12 oz jar roasted red sweet peppers & juice, diced
2 small ripe avacados, diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded & diced
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
2 TBS Worchestshire sauce
1 TBS EV olive oil
1 TBS red wine vinegar
1 TBS Tabasco
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp fresh chopped dill weed
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Sauté the shrimp & scallops in a 50/50 mix of butter & olive oil with a little extra salt & pepper in a hot pan and caramelize slightly. Cut shrimp to gumball size bites & chill both.

Mix all ingredients in a bowl & chill for a couple of hours. Garnish serving bowls with a couple of whole cilantro leaves. For a more dramatic presentation, place a previously cooked & chilled whole sea scallop in the center.


Crawfish Etoufee


Two pans

1st pan:
combine 1 stick of butter
2 cups or so of chopped onion
1 cup of chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup of chopped celery
and two big tablespoons of chopped garlic
and a little bit of juice from a pack of crawfish. about two teaspoons

Bring this up to a simmer and cover and cook for 45 minutes

Pot #2:
Make a roux with one stick of butter and 1 cup of flour. Keep it light in color(about one cup)

Back to pot #1

Add your salt and pepper, about 1 cup of roux, Rotel tomatoes(8oz can), and about 3.5 cups of water.(add more water if needed to suit your taste and thickness)
Bring it to a boil while stirring.
Add one pound of crawfish tails

Simmer for 15 minutes, add some fresh parsley and serve over rice.
It is also good over pasta, like angle hair.

I've only had Crawfish Etoufee one time and it was fantastic!
