Spicy Shrimp Eggs Benedict
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
- 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of hot sauce
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and a pinch of Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining Cajun seasoning. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- To assemble, place the toasted English muffins on serving plates. Top each half with a few shrimp, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with the Cajun mayonnaise and hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
