Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tasso and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. (If using sausage, cook until the fat is rendered and the sausage is browned, about 5 minutes.) Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the shrimp stock, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream and return to a boil. Lower the heat slightly and simmer until thickened and reduced by about 1/3 in volume, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions, hot sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Add the butter a piece at a time and cook, stirring, until incorporated.
  2. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
  3. To serve, place 2 rice cakes on each of 4 plates. Divide the shrimp and tasso sauce among the cakes. Sprinkle each portion with chopped pecans and parsley, and serve immediately.
  4. Rice Cakes:
  5. 2 cups cold cooked medium or long-grain white rice
  6. 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  7. 2 tablespoons minced green onions
  8. 1 tablespoon chopped lightly toasted pecans
  9. 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley leaves
  10. 1/2 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
  11. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  12. 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for pan-frying
  13. In a bowl, combine the rice, eggs, onions, pecans, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon of the Essence. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  14. In a shallow dish combine the flour with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of Essence.
  15. Divide the rice into 8 portions of 1/4 cup each and form into patty shapes. Lightly coat on both sides in the flour.
  16. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties in batches, adding more oil as needed, and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides and warmed through, about 3 minutes per side, pressing down with a spatula to flatten slightly.
  17. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, topped with the Shrimp in Tasso Cream.
  18. Yield: 8 cakes
  19. Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
  20. 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  21. 2 tablespoons salt
  22. 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  23. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  24. 1 tablespoon onion powder
  25. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  26. 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
  27. 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  28. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
  29. Yield: about 2/3 cup
