Prawn And Scallop Sausages Recipes

PRAWN AND SCALLOP SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Low Fat Blend: Place the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
• The mixture can also be blended by hand.
• A food processor will not give the right consistency.
• Use as a replacement for soured cream, mayonnaise or double cream in savoury or sweet recipes.
• Make sure that all of the ingredients and the bowl are well chilled before starting and plan on working quickly.
• Place the prawns and scallops in a food processor and pureé.
• Add the egg yolk and pulse until well blended.
• Transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl and set in a larger bowl filled with ice.
• Gently fold in the Low-Fat Blend, potato flour and herbs a little at a time until blended and smooth.
• Add the cayenne pepper, paprika and salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and place in the refrigerator until chilled; about 1 hour.
• Remove the refrigerator and place the bowl on a flat work surface.
• Tear off an 8-inch piece of cling film, place 2 tablespoonsful of the mixture in a strip down the centre, roll up over the mixture to make a 2-inch (5 cm) sausage and twist the ends.
• Repeat until all the mixture is used.
• Put on a plate and return to the refrigerator until needed.
• Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan or wok fitted with a steamer, bring 1 inch (2. 5cm) of water to the boil.
• Keep the sausages chilled until you steam them; you will have to do this in batches.
• Place several sausages in the steamer and steam for about 8 minutes, until firm and cooked through.
• When all the sausages are steamed, cut open the cling film and remove.
• Drain the sausages and keep warm until serving with a salad garnish.

SCALLOPS AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Put a pan on to get hot and then dry-fry (the chorizo will give out plenty of its own oil) the chorizo until crisped on either side; this should take no more than 2 minutes.
• Remove the chorizo to a bowl and fry the scallops in the chorizo oil for about 1 minute a side.
• Return the chorizo to the pan with the scallops, add the lemon juice and let bubble for a few seconds before arranging on a serving plate and sprinkling with lots of parsley.

ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE WITH BAY SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat, add the sausage and onion and sautéuntil onion is softened, about 7 minutes. (Do not overcook.) Set aside.
• In another deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until the surface ripples. Pat scallops dry and fry in batches of 6 or 7 until they are light brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. (The scallops should not be cooked through.)
• When all the scallops are browned, add them to the sausage and onions. Add the wine and stock and bring to a simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce liquid to a coating consistency. Off heat, swirl in more butter if necessary to make an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper.

SHRIMP, SCALLOP AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a 3 1/2 quart slow cooker.
• Add the tomato juice, clam juice, water, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, black and cayenne peppers, and break up the tomatoes with the side of a spoon. Cover and slow cook until the rice is barely tender, 5 to 6 hours on low.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, turning often, until browned, about 5 minutes.
• During the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir the sausage, shrimp and scallops into the jambalaya. Increase the heat to high (300°) cover, and cook just until the shellfish are firm. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS & SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• Pat shrimp and scallops dry; sprinkle with seafood seasoning., In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms about 3 minutes. Add peas; cook until vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove. Add shallots and 1 tablespoon butter; cook and stir until starting to soften, 1-2 minutes. Stir in wine; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until ready to serve., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Return pasta to pan. Over low heat, stir in 1/4 cup parsley, garlic, pepper flakes, salt, mushroom mixture and remaining butter, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten., In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add scallops and shrimp; sear until scallops are golden brown and firm and shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Combine with pasta and sauce; sprinkle with remaining parsley., ,

SIZZLING PRAWNS & SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Put sizzler plates in oven. Rub prawns and scallops with salt, leave for 5 minutes, and rinse with water very quickly for about 2 seconds.
• Pat dry the prawns and scallops. In a bowl, toss them with the marinade; set aside for 30 minutes.
• In a bowl, mix together the chicken stock, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar and cornflour; set aside.
• Preheat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and half the salt. Add prawns and scallops to the hot oil, stir-fry for about 1 minute. When prawns turn pink and scallops begin to feel firm to the touch, remove from the wok; set aside.
• Reheat the wok. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ginger, garlic, remaining salt, spring onions and chilli paste; cook gently for 15 seconds. Turn heat to high; toss in the cucumber. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sauce mixture and stir quickly to thicken.
• Return the prawns and scallops to the wok, add the vinegar and sesame oil; quickly toss for a few seconds to reheat.
• As soon as they are finished, transfer them to the sizzler plates and quickly pour the mixture onto the hot platter and listen to it sizzle. Serve with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

SCALLOP AND SHRIMP CREOLE

Steps:

• To prepare:
• Peel the shrimp and save the shells for shrimp oil or shrimp broth or discard them. Pick up a shrimp and make a shallow slit down the middle of the length of the back to expose the black intestine. Slit all the shrimp and lift out the black intestine with the point of your paring knife, or flush it out under cold running water. If using defrosted cleaned shrimp, skip this step. Either way, dry the shrimp well with paper towels and set them aside.
• Clean the sea scallops by peeling and discarding the little strip of muscle that is attached to one side. (If your scallops are somewhat old the muscle strip may not be there.) Place the scallops in a colander and wash them well under cold running water - keep an eye open for specks of dark sand. Drain the scallops well and roll them in paper towels to dry them thoroughly. If the scallops are very large, cut them into 1/2" to 3/4" pieces (it's the thickness that determines the cooking time, not how wide they are). If you're using bay scallops, don't remove the tiny strip of muscle, it's tender. Either way, set the scallops aside while you're preparing the sauce.
• Put the bacon fat or vegetable oil into a skillet or stew-type pot that's wide and deep enough to hold all the seafood in about 2 layers with about 2 cups of sauce. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and add the onion, peppers, and celery. Cook the vegetables, adjusting the heat if necessary and stirring frequently, until they have become slightly wilted and a little brown, about 5 minutes. When the vegetables are ready, turn the heat to low and stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, bay leaf and cayenne, cooking for about 30 seconds. Add the flour and continue to stir for about 1 minute more to cook away its raw taste. Add the tomatoes and their juice, and simmer the sauce, covered, over very low heat, about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are almost tender and it's very thick. Stir the sauce once or twice during this period. Season it generously with salt, pepper, and Tabasco, and set it aside. The sauce can be made 3 or 4 days in advance and refrigerated, but be sure to heat it through before continuing with the recipe.
• In a separate bowl, mix the scallops and shrimp together and season them well with salt and pepper. (If you're using bay scallops that are smaller than 1/2" in width, don't mix them with the shrimp at this point - see Note.) Remove about one half of the sauce to a bowl, spreading the remaining sauce evenly over the bottom of the skillet or pot. Distribute the seafood evenly over the sauce in the skillet and spread the reserved sauce over the top of the seafood - it won't completely cover. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and, without stirring, heat the mixture until you see 3 or 4 bubbles at the surface. Reduce the heat to very low, tightly cover the skillet, and gently simmer the mixture until the shrimp are white throughout and the scallops are slightly translucent in the center, 8 to 12 minutes, cutting one of each to check, if you're unsure. (If you prefer, you can bake the Creole in a preheated 325°F oven once the bubbles have come to the surface.)
• The Creole will be much thinner now from the shellfish juices. Taste it for seasoning and adjust it with salt, a generous amount of pepper, and additional Tabasco, if you like.
• To serve:
• Ladle the Creole into warm soup plates or bowls, discarding the bay leaf. Sprinkle each serving with chopped parsley and serve right away.
• Note: If you've reserved bay scallops, add them approximately halfway through the cooking (depending on their size), pressing them into the simmering mixture as best as possible. Cover the skillet again and finish cooking.
