Serving

2 cups peeled rock shrimp tails , about 1 lb
1 tbsp creole seasoning, recipe follows
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup peeled, chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1/4 to 1/2 cup bread crumbs , plus 1/4 cup
1 cup cubed mozzarella pieces
1 tbsp grated parmesan
8 sheets phyllo dough , defrosted
1 stick butter, melted
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 lb roma tomatoes, cored and halved
1/2 cup olive oil
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 lb cold unsalted butter
white pepper , to taste
few drops balsamic vinegar , or to taste
hot sauce, your choice , to taste

Directions:

Place the shrimp tails in a bowl and season with the Creole seasoning. In a large heavy skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion, celery and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink, about 4 minutes. Add cream, Worcestershire and Crystal hot sauces to pan and reduce over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup bread crumbs to the mixture to tighten, stirring to combine well, and cook for 1 minute. Remove mixture from the heat and allow to cool. Gently fold in the cheese and combine thoroughly.
Divide cooled shrimp mixture into 8 equal portions, then fashion each into individual logs about 1-inch in diameter and 4-inches in length (approximately 3 1/2 ounces each).
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Spread phyllo sheets on a clean work surface with long side closest to you, like a book. With a pastry brush, spread melted butter on right half of top sheet, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon bread crumbs and fold left side over right side as though closing a book. Butter top of folded phyllo sheet. Place one formed shrimp log at bottom of phyllo sheet and carefully fold 1-inch edge of left side over the filling, then 1-inch edge of right side over the filling. Starting at the bottom, fold the phyllo over the shrimp filling and roll up to form a cylinder, like an eggroll, buttering the bottom 1/2-inch of phyllo with butter to seal. Butter the top of the phyllo roll and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and rock shrimp filling. Place phyllo bundles in refrigerator for 10 minutes prior to cooking.
Bake phyllo strudels in oven until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast):
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Yield: 2/3 cup
SMOKEY TOMATO-BUTTER SAUCE:
In a mixing bowl, toss the tomatoes with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place tomatoes on a smoker rack and smoke with hickory chips for 15 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat melt butter, add chopped onion and celery and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add smoked tomatoes and any accumulated juices, chicken stock, and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Using a hand-held blender, puree until smooth. Strain through a coarse strainer and continue to cook until thickened, about 5 more minutes. Whisk in cold butter, season to taste with salt, white pepper, a few drops of balsamic vinegar and your hot sauce of choice. Serve immediately or keep warm in a bain marie until needed.
