Cajun Spiced Smoked Shrimp With Remoulade Recipes

BLACKENED SHRIMP WRAP WITH BBQ BACON AND CAJUN REMOULADE

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Combine the paprika, garlic, onion powder, sugar, salt, coriander, black pepper and cayenne in a bowl. Melt the butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the spice mixture and cook until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Let cool, then toss the shrimp with the butter and spices and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Lay the bacon across grates of a grill and grill until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside on paper-towel-lined plate.
• Grill the shrimp until charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let rest, then chop each shrimp into 3 smaller chunks.
• For the remoulade: Mix together the mayonnaise, capers, hot sauce, lemon juice, mustard, parsley, relish and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper.
• Mix together the avocados, tomatoes and orange juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Schmear a tablespoon of remoulade on each tortilla and top with avocado and tomatoes, 2 slices of bacon and some grilled shrimp. Tightly wrap and serve with extra remoulade for dipping.

CAJUN REMOULADE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients well in a mixer.
• If you're not sure how spicy you want it, save the cayenne pepper for last and add a little at a time.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• I usually buy a 16oz jar of mayo, use the whole jar for the sauce, then pour it back into the jar.

CAJUN-SPICED GRILLED SHRIMP WITH REMOULADE

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Add the lemon juice, olive oil, Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them in the spice mixture. Allow the shrimp to marinate while you make the remoulade. Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes.
• For the remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun spice, ketchup, mustard, parsley, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp in an even layer. Allow the shrimp to cook for 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until they are just opaque and the tails are pink, about another minute. Remove the shrimp to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve with remoulade.
