Betty’s Hot and Spicy Cajun Shrimp Saute Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates a Cajun-style shrimp saute. It is quick and easy to make and has loads of flavor.

Ingredients:

10 oz. frozen cleaned uncooked shrimp
1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
hot sauce (Louisiana-style)
1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

Thaw the shrimp in its original freezer bag. When thawed, drain it through a colander to let excess water go into the sink. Now place the shrimp on a plate, sprinkle well with garlic salt and Louisiana hot sauce. Cover with cellophane and refrigerate for 4 hours. In a skillet heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil until hot, but not smoking. Add the shrimp, but don’t allow a lot of the marinade into the skillet. The shrimp will cook very quickly. Turn each shrimp once, when it changes from translucent to opaque. When cooked on both sides, remove to a plate that has paper toweling on top to drain the shrimp. Move the shrimp to a serving dish. Serve while hot! Don’t skimp on the hot sauce!!!

I have some garlic powder, garlic salt, creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce, oinion powder, celery salt, lawry’s season salt, basil leaves, hot sauce, butter, flour, and hickory bbq buffalo wings seasoning mix. Someone please help asap because i want to start cooking now. Should I marinade the chicken for a couple hours first??????

Honey and Soy make a good marinade, add some Cayenne to that for a real Sweet ‘bite’.


Smart Spice Organic Thyme — 0.1 oz Each / Pack of 6

Smart Spice Organic Thyme -- 0.1 oz Each / Pack of 6

100% Organic Spices. 4 Packets per Carton. Each Packet Contains 1 Teaspoon of Spice. Sealed Tight so Air, Light, and Moisture Are Kept Away From the Spice and Natural Oils That Are Essential for Flavor. Thyme, one of the fine herbs of French cooking, is basic to southern European cuisine and its Creole and Cajun cousins in the American South. This fresh-tasting herb, with its hint of cloves and spice, gives a robust savor to chowders and stews, yet lends refinement to the most exquisite fish, veal, or egg dishes. Thymes name meant sacrifice, in ancient Greece, where it was offered as a pleasing gift to the gods. Thyme is a perennial native to arid Mediterranean hills. Many varieties exist, but thymus vulgaris, common thyme, is most beloved as a culinary herb. Its hard to believe the tiny leaves and delicate pink or white flowers of this scrappy plant yield such exquisite flavor. But the harsh sun and dry soil of its natural environment seem only to strengthen the fragrant essential oil for which thyme is prized. Smart Spices organic thyme is well-suited for marinades and for long, slow cooking, gradually releasing its heavenly flavor. Its perfect in crock pots. Or saut chicken breasts, deglaze with cognac, and finish with thyme and cream. Add thyme to stuffing and sauces, and or use it in classic lentil and bean dishes. A natural ally of vegetables, thyme is especially good with green beans or mushrooms sauted in butter or olive oil. In recipes calling for a tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, substitute 1 teaspoon dried thyme from Smart Spice. If you do have fresh thyme on hand, add a packet of Smart Spice thyme to, and discover the flavor magic of layering the flavors of fresh and dried herbs. A revolution in seasonings? Why not. For too long, the average consumer and cook has had to settle on purchasing and using middle-of-the-road bottled spices and herbs. There has never been an affordable alternative. Introducing SMART SPICE. These spices, herbs, and kitchen

1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp paprika
pinch hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon molasses
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger

6 each chicken thighs and drumsticks
salt and pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients (except chicken) for marinade (may be processed in a blender). Set aside 1/2 cup of this marinade in a clean jar (do not use to marinate chicken – this portion will be used for basting the chicken during the grilling). Keep refrigerated.
Put marinade into a ziploc bag with chicken pieces and distribute evenly. Marinate chicken for 6-12 hours in refrigerator, turning occasionally.

Remove chicken from marinade and drain. Allow to sit at room temperature while grill heats up. Grill over medium high heat (grill open) for 5 minutes, then close grill and reduce heat; continue cooking over low heat, for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is done (juices will run clear when pierced with a fork). Baste with fresh marinade every few minutes, turning chicken to cook both sides evenly.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

CAJUN DIRTY RICE

1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground beef
1 large bell pepper
1 medium onion
5-6 cloves garlic, peeled
1-2 fresh, cayenne peppers
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 4-6oz cans mushroom steak sauce
3-4 cups cooked rice

The Dressing Mix:

Pan fry the ground meat well until all of the meat is well done. Put bell pepper, onion and garlic into food processor and "nearly" liquify it, then add this to the meat. The pepper/onion/garlic should sizzle as you stir it well into the the meat. When the sizzling fades, add the mushroom steak sauce and a little water and allow the entire dressing mix to simmer for at least a half hour.
Dirty Rice: Cooked rice can be added to this mixure and thoroughly stirred. The more rice you add, the drier and "whiter" the resulting dressing will be. Adding the right amount of rice will result in a dress that is moist with the rice appearing very brown ("dirty").

Cornbread Dressing:

Substitute crumbed cornbread for cooked rice.
Save some for later: Freeze the dressing mix, i.e., before adding rice/cornbread, separately. When needed, defrost the mix by heating it and add the rice or cornbread.
