INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the "Shrimp Stock", "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole
Seasoning}", and "Lemon Butter Sauce" recipes which are included in this
collection.
In a Dutch oven, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the ham and render
until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions. Saute for 2 minutes.
Add the garlic and tomatoes. Season with salt and a pinch of pepper flakes.
Continue to saute for 3 minutes. Stir in the rice and stock. Bring the
liquid to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 20
minutes. Season the oysters with Bayou Blast. Add the oysters and peas,
continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt
and pepper. Season the softshells with Bayou Blast. Season the corn flour
and egg wash with the Essence. Dredge the softshells in the seasoned flour.
Dip each softshell in the egg wash. Dredge the softshells for a second time
in the seasoned flour, coating completely. Carefully drag the legs of the
softshells in the oil for 30 seconds. Then carefully drop the softshells in
the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain
on paper towels. Season with Essence. To serve, lay two of the softshells,
legs up on the bottom of each plate. Spoon the pilau in the center of each
softshell. Drizzle the sauce over the top and garnish with parsley. This
recipe yields 6 servings.
