Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with bayou spice blend. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Eggs and Vegetables Preparation

  1. 2

    Baste Eggs

    In a separate skillet, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack 2 eggs at a time into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining eggs.

  2. 3

    Sear Tomatoes and Spinach

    In the same skillet used for the eggs, add the sliced tomatoes and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly charred. Add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper.

Cajun Hollandaise Preparation

  1. 4

    Make Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice until thickened. Gradually drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Stir in Cajun seasoning and salt to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, layer seared tomatoes and wilted spinach, top with 2 basted eggs, and spoon sautéed shrimp over the top. Drizzle with Cajun hollandaise sauce and serve alongside mixed greens dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
