Back again. Here is the second recipe Chef Ross Eirich gave me. This is one of my favorites. Shrimp Remoulade really captures the essence of New Orleans. It's spicy, and looks great just like New Orleans. My next interview is planned to be with Chef Tom Weaver of the Court of Two Sisters. A friend of mine (David) suggested I get some photos of the restaurant this time. So I'll start including a restaurant shot with the recipe. Thanks David, for the suggestion. If anyone else has any ideas how we can improve the blog let me know.Here is a pdf of the Shrimp Remoulade recipe.Listen to Galatoire's Chef Ross Eirich interview of 7/21/05 if you haven't yet.Shrimp Remoulade (serves 6)1 stalk celery1 bunch green onion1 bunch parsley1/2 large onion1 cup of ketchup1 cup of tomato puree1 cup Creole mustard1 cup red wine vinegar2 tablespoons prepared horseradish2 tsp.
