Cajun Eggs Recipes

CAJUN PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Hard boil the eggs, then set them to the side to cool. Peel and rinse them once cooled.
• In a sauce pan over high heat, combine the two vinegars, water, brown sugar, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper powder, and crushed red pepper. Bring the mix to a boil.
• Remove the brine from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
• Place the eggs into large sealable canning jars, press down to get them all in.
• Pour the brine over the eggs until the eggs are completely submerged.
• Seal the jar and place in the refrigerator. Allow the eggs to pickle for 24 hours, then serve.

CAJUN PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Gently pack the eggs into the jar, sprinkling them with the Cajun seasoning as you go.
• In a small saucepan, combine the hot pepper sauce and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Pour over the eggs.
• Seal the jar and let it cool to room temperature. Stash the jar in the refrigerator, giving the jar a gentle shake to redistribute the spices every couple days, for at least 2 weeks and up to 3 months. (The flavor will initially be hot and vinegary but if you wait at least 2 weeks the pickled eggs will pick up a complexity and become more imbued with the Cajun spices.)

CAJUN BAKED EGGS WITH POLENTA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the andouille and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper and celery, toss to coat and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the scallions, garlic and Cajun seasoning and cook until slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Pour in the tomatoes and 1/4 cup water; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Brush the polenta slices on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; arrange on a baking sheet. Broil until crisp around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Using the back of a spoon, make 8 spaces in the tomato sauce for the eggs. Crack in the eggs, cover and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 6 to 8 minutes. Top with the parsley, celery leaves and more Cajun seasoning. Serve with the polenta.

• Give the shrimp a quick rinse in a colander under running water, then drain. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then transfer to another medium bowl. Sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning and toss to coat.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter starts to shimmer. Swirl the butter around so that it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
• Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 45 seconds. Flip and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 45 to 60 seconds. Remove the shrimp from the heat and set aside.
• When ready to serve, top each deviled egg with 1 shrimp.
