Blackened Shrimp with Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Andouille Cream

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Fish and Shellfish

We served this to our supper club and it was fabulous.

"The potatoes were fabulous. I had a bit of trouble with the cream sauce separating, but it was also very good. I have not done much of any blackening and did not care for the blackened shrimp, I believe in part, due to the Blackening Seasoning that I used." - bfablue

Blackened Shrimp with Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Andouille Cream Preparation

For the sweet potatoes, in a one-gallon saucepot, add the potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. When cooked, strain potatoes. In a large bowl, while potatoes are still hot, add honey, butter, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mash together and reserve on stovetop with low heat.

For the andouille cream, in a large saute pan with the olive oil, sweat the garlic and shallots. Add the celery and saute for one minute. Add the white wine, sausage, and thyme. Reduce for about one minute to half. Add heavy cream and reduce mixture by half again. Stir in Cajun seasoning and butter, saute for one minute. Stir in parsley and season. Be sure to remove thyme sprig before serving. Reserve on stovetop with low heat.

For the shrimp, dredge shrimp in blackening spice. Season each side of the shrimp with salt and ground black pepper. In a hot saute pan with olive oil, pan sear shrimp. Be sure not to burn the blackening spice, or it will turn very bitter in taste.

For the presentation, spoon the potatoes in the center of a serving plate. Then stand three shrimp on the potatoes, with the tails in on top. Lastly, spoon a portion of the andouille cream on top of the shrimp and potatoes.
