INSTRUCTIONS
ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW#EE2279
Heat the olive oil, lightly saute the shallots, garlic, onions, and
peppers, until tender, about 1-2 minutes. Season with Essence. Add the crab
meat, being careful in not breaking up the pieces. Remove from the heat. In
a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce,
mustard, parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes,
then shape loosely into 12 balls, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture.
Season the shrimp with 2 teaspoons Essence. Press one ball of stuffing into
the cavity of each shrimp and arrange the shrimp on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with remaining Essence. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes,
remove from oven. For the sauce, in a sauce pot, heat the olive oil.
Lightly saute the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, about 1-2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot
sauce, and veal stock. Cook over high heat for 12 minutes. Turn off the
heat, add the cream and mount in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Strain through a chinoise. Spoon a small pool of sauce in the middle of the
plate and arrange three shrimp in the center. Top with shaved chives and
Parmesan Cheese.
