Ingredients
8 mirlitons*, halved
¼ cup Louisiana pecan oil
½ cup butter
1 cup chopped sweet onion
1 cup chopped celery
1½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound small Louisiana shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons quick-mixing flour, such as Wondra
2 quarts chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half
Instructions
To a large pot, add mirlitons and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Transfer mirlitons to a colander, and let stand until cool enough to handle.
Remove and discard seeds and fibrous membranes from mirlitons, and scoop out as much flesh as possible. Place flesh in a large bowl, and mash until smooth.
In a large Dutch oven, heat pecan oil and butter over low heat until melted. Add onion, celery, and mirliton; cook until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and shrimp; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in peppers, salt, ginger, and basil. Add fl our, stirring well.
Stir in broth, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, and add half-and-half. Serve immediately.
Notes
*Mirliton is labeled as chayote in some supermarkets
