Spicy Boiled Shrimp Cocktail with Smoky Remoulade

If you want to serve this dish more as a meal, bulk up the remoulade with about 2 cups of julienned celeriac and a half cup of chopped celery leaves.

Ingredients:

  • 1 leek, white part only, roughly chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and cracked
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 16 jumbo raw shrimp, shelled (with tails on, though) and deveined
  • 1/2 cup cream fraiche
  • 1/4 cup minced green pepper
  • 1/4 cup minced parsley
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • triscuits for serving

Directions:

  1. To make the shrimp, combine all of the ingredients except the shrimp in a large pot. Add four cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer it for five minutes. Add shrimp, bring it back to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Cover, remove from heat and let stand until the shrimp are just cooked through. Drain. Let shrimp and aromatics cool to room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
