Recipe 2:
Pappadeaux sauce recipes are well demanded as well. Among them what I’m going to share with you is known as pappadeaux’s Alexander sauce. I’m going to mix the sauce with shrimp and lump crabmeat to create a full dish. With dirty rice, you can have this as a side dish. Its sweet texture perfectly goes with dirty rice and these two side dishes make a proper meal. So, without wasting any time, grab the ingredients, and start cooking.
Ingredients:
- Unsalted butter about 6 tbsp.
- Sweet type onion or yellow onion, chopped about 1/2 cup
- All-purpose flour about 1/2 cup
- Clam juice about 1/2 cup. If you don’t have clam juice, as a substitute you can use chicken broth.
- Whipping cream about 2 cups
- Kosher salt about 1/2 tsp.
- White pepper about 1/4 tsp.
- Uncooked small shrimp about 1 cup
- White lump crabmeat about 5 ounces
- Cayenne pepper about 1/4 tsp (optional)
Instruction:
Step 1: You need to melt the butter at first. So, take a large saucepan, melt 3 tbsp. of butter or margarine over low heat. Be careful with that because your butter should not get brown.
Step 2: When the butter is melted, add finely chopped yellow onions. You can’t use regular onion, the texture of yellow onion or sweet type onion is far different from the regular ones.
Step 3: Stir the onions with a spatula until they get tender. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Step 4: Now pour the clam juice or chicken broth slowly into the saucepan and stir over high heat.
Step 5: Add the whipping cream and let them cook for another 2 minutes. This makes the sauce thick and flavorful.
Step 6: To season the sauce add 1/2 tsp of kosher salt, 1/4 tsp of white pepper, and cayenne powder. You can add chili powder instead of cayenne powder. Cook them all for 5 minutes.
Step 7: Taking a frying pan, add the rest of the butter for melting over low heat.
Step 8: Add shrimp into the frying pan and fry for 2 minutes.
Step 9: After that, add the crabmeat and cook for 7 minutes or until they get a light brown color.
Step 10: When the cooking is done, remove the frying pan from heat and place them into the saucepan.
Step 11: Mix the shrimp and crabmeat with the sauce and place them in a casserole dish for serving.
