We were playing with some flavors getting ready for a Mother’s Day Seafood Feast. Instead of your typical Cajun Seafood Boil. We call this a Cajun Seafood Steam as everything was steamed together!
2LBS mussels 10-12 prawns shell on 3 large smokies or sausages 3 corn on cob (cut into 5 pieces each) 1 large potato cubed 1/2CUP white wine salt pepper Sauce: 1/2CUP butter 2TBSP each cajun spice fresh cilantro green onion & diced garlic 1TBSP each Sriracha garlic chili sauce lime juice 1TSP crushed chili’s 1 jalapeno cut in quarters
We used a large Cast Iron Pan with lid to steam everything but feel free to use a pot, whichever you prefer.
Put the mussels, smokies, and corn along with the wine and salt and pepper in pan. Cover, put on med high heat and let steam 3-4 minute’s. We then take out smokies cut them, put them back in and add potatoes also. Before closing the lid we sprinkle a little cajun spice over everything. Steam low heat it potatoes are done should take about 5 minutes.
While that’s steaming you can get a little pot on the stove and make your cajun sauce. Add all your sauce ingredients, bring to a boil then reduce heat immediately to a simmer for about 2-4 minute’s. Add in half your sauce and stir well. Top with the raw shrimp, cover and steam til shrimp are cooked takes about 2 minutes. Add remaining sauce and mix well again.
Lay some news paper out on the table and dump it all out for everyone to dig in. If you have a large serving platter can use that also. Of course you can slop it on individual plates, but that’s not as fun hehehe. Let us know what you think of this one! I know we devoured it, fast.
