SHRIMP CLEMENCEAU

Steps:

• 1. Heat about 1 inch oil in a deep heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. When oil reaches about 350 degrees, add potatoes and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. 2. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add peas and cook for one minute. Drain, refresh under cold water, and set aside. 3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and half the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate. 4. Remove and discard mushroom stem, then thinly slice cap. Cut slices in half or in thirds (depending upon size of mushroom). Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, turning once or twice, until golden, about 2 minutes. 5. Increase heat to medium-high. Add potatoes, peas, and shrimp to skillet. Mix well, then add parsley and remaining garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes.

SHRIMP OR CRAYFISH CLEMENCEAU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Place the potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with cold water; add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just cooked through (they will become opaque and should be tender, but not overly soft, when pierced with a paring knife). Drain them, rinse with cold water, and cool. Pat the dice dry with paper towels.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet until hot but not smoking, and add the potatoes and 2 tablespoons butter. Cook until evenly browned and crispy, and transfer to a large bowl. Keep them warm in the oven.
• Return the skillet to the heat (no need to clean), pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they are lightly browned and crispy. Add the mushrooms to the potatoes. Add the shrimp or crayfish tails to the skillet and cook a few more minutes. Add the peas, season lightly with salt, pepper, and hot sauce, and transfer the mixture to the bowl of potatoes. Toss mixture to combine and return to oven to keep warm. Deglaze the pan with the shallots, wine, and lemon juice and scrape up the bits. Bring to a boil and reduce to about 4 tablespoons of liquid. Stir in the garlic, then whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, to make a creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp, sprinkle with scallions, and serve immediately. Or divide among four plates, top with potatoes and scallions, and drizzle with sauce.
