Instructions
Prepping Ingredients 1 Start cooking rice in a rice cooker. Gather all of your ingredients and set them out on the counter. Preheat the oven to 450°F (if not grilling Red Peppers). 2 Dice carrots, celery, shallot, garlic chives and parsley. Coat bell pepper with olive oil and place on a cooking sheet into the oven for 30 minutes (until charred on all sides). 3 To prep shrimp, pull head away from body. Using scissors, cut along the back spine to be able to pull the shell away as you see in the video. Open up the shrimp so you can remove and discard the dark vein in the middle. THIS IS A MUST! Do not discard the shells or shrimp heads. Clean Roasted Bell Peppers 5 Remove peppers from oven then place them in a ziplock bag for at least 15 minutes to sweat them and loosen the skin up. Remove and dispose of the skin. Open them up and remove the seeds. Roughly chop the peppers. Making the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce 7 In a large pot over medium heat, add in 2 Tbsp Olive Oil. Add the shrimp heads and shells removed from the shrimp. Cook down for 2 to 3 minutes and then one by one add the vegetables, garlic, tomato paste and herbs until they are all added. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes until shells and heads have turned almost red and the vegetables are soft. 8 Add white wine and cook down until half wine is cooked out. Then add water and cook down until half the liquid is cooked out. Then turn off heat, add ice cubes and the cream. Stir well to combine to incorporate all the flavors. 9 Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients. Pro Tip : Use a deep pot! If you don't, you'll make a mess with the blender. 10 Strain the sauce. Add salt and pepper for flavor as needed. Pro Tip : You may need to use a spatula to press liquid through the strainer. Cook Shrimp and Plate 12 Last step is to sauté shrimp in butter and season with Tonys Creole Seasoning. Cook each side for 2 minutes and then add half the sauce and then turn off heat. 13 Serve the shrimp on top a bed of rice. Top with a little extra sauce and finish with some parsley for a pop of color.View original recipe
