Method

1To prepare Spicy Crawfish Potato Salad, wash potatoes under cold water to wash off any excess dirt. Place potatoes and water in large stock pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Allow to cook for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until slightly soft.
2Remove from heat, strain off water and allow potatoes to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3Once cool, cut in pieces that are approximately 1/2" cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the remainder of ingredients to the potatoes all at once and mix well with a rubber spatula. Set aside until ready to use or place in refrigerator for use at a later time. *Allow the potato salad to sit for at least 1 hour to help the flavors combine before serving.
4To prepare Peppery Citrus Glaze, place all ingredients except for the butter in a small sauce pot. Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
5Cube the butter into 1/2" cubes.
6Continue to boil until liquid has become syrupy or nappe. This should take about 15 minutes.
7Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until fully melted and incorporated. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and leave at room temperature until ready to use.
8To prepare the Shrimp, season the marinated shrimp with salt and pepper and grill over a medium heat on both sides until fully cooked.
9To prepare Garnishes, boil whole crawfish in water and Original TABASCO® Pepper Sauce (amount will depend on desired spice level).
10For each serving, spoon about 1 cup of potato salad onto each plate. Top each plate of potato salad with 6 grilled shrimp piled high. Drizzle about 1 Tbsp. of citrus glaze over the shrimp and onto the plate.
11Finish dish with a sprig of fresh parsley, chopped parsley on the entire plate, 3 fresh chives coming out of the top, and 1 boiled crawfish.
12Serve immediately and enjoy. Serve with Original TABASCO® Pepper Sauce on the side for those in need of some more flare!
