Directions: |
Directions:Pour a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot. Put the sliced sausages and onion in and let them brown, shaking the pot to toss them. Add the Zatarain's, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Stir them around to release their fragrance a little. (Zatarain's boil is mostly a mix of coriander seeds and mustard seeds, which you could just mix together yourself if you don't have Zatarain's). Fill the pot with water, leaving enough room for the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
Add the lemon and the potatoes and boil until they are almost fork tender, approx 8 minutes. Add a few pinches of salt and sprinkle a layer of the Chachere's Creole over the top. Add the corn and let it come to a boil again. Add another pinch of salt the shrimp and boil until they cook through and turn pink, just a few minutes. Toss the contents of the pot in a strainer in the sink, just like when you cook pasta.
Serve on a huge platter, or outside over a pile of newspapers on a picnic table, with Tabasco or other hot sauce, lemons, and butter on the side. |
