I found this recipe in a magazine while I was waiting at the hospital. I have made it for company and it is always a hit. You need an iron skillet and turning the shrimp is easier if you skewer them. It was the first time that I had purchased saffron so we called the sauce gold sauce . It is great served with fried rice. Be sure to have on your exhaust fan as it does create some smoke, but the taste is well worth it. Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon saffron thread, crumbled |
1 tablespoon hot water |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1 small garlic clove, crushed through a press |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons cajun seasoning |
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails |
Directions:
1. Combine large pinch of saffron and water in bowl.
2. Stand 2 minutes.
3. Whisk in mayonnaise, tomato paste, garlic and lemon juice.
4. Refrigerate.
5. Microwave butter in pie plate for 1 minute or until melted.
6. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning on waxed paper.
7. Heat a 10-inch iron skillet over medium high heat until hot.
8. Dip 1 side of shrimp in butter and then seasoning.
9. Cook 1/2 of shrimp in hot skillet season side down for 2 minutes.
