Cajun Shrimp-stuffed Pistolettes: Classic American recipe (from Louisiana) for a traditional dish of fried pistolette rolls stuffed with a spicy prawn and cheese blend.
Ingredients:
240g butter
420g finely-chopped onions
150g finely-chopped celery
100g finely-chopped green bell pepper
50g finely-chopped shallots
225g finely-chopped mushrooms
700ml evaporated milk
240ml prawn poaching stock
450g cheese, cut into chunks
2l vegetable oil
2.25kg poached and minced prawns
2 tsp coarsely-ground
black pepper
1/2 tsp
cayenne pepper
24 unbaked
pistolette rolls
Method:
Melt the butter in a large frying pan, until it foams then add the onions, celery, garlic, bell pepper, shallots and mushrooms and cook them for about 12–15 minutes, or until they soften completely.
When the vegetables are ready add the evaporated milk and the poaching stock then bring the mixture to a slow boil. Add the cheese chunks and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce turns smooth and silky. While the sauce is simmering heat the vegetable oil in a large pan.
Fold the ground prawns into the hot sauce in the frying pan. Stir everything together and allow to cook for 3 minutes. When uniformly blended add the seasonings then remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly.
Drop the pistolettes in the hot vegetable oil and fry for about two minutes on both sides, or until they turn a golden, crunchy, brown. While still hot make a slit in one end with a knife and form a pocket. Fill this with stuffing. When you've completed the stuffing place the pistolettes in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
