My wife used to enjoy Semolina's in Baton Rouge. I never went, but she has mentioned really enjoying the shrimp roban (sp?). Shot in the dark, but does anyone have any idea where I can find a recipe for that dish? I'd like to cook it for her. Thanks

Sauce:

2 tbsp butter
1 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup blackened redfish seasoning
1 qt heavy cream

Pasta:

1 tbsp oil
4 oz shrimp
1 cup Roban Sauce
2 cups pasta, cooked
Green Onions
Chopped Parsley

Sauce shrimp in the oil until pink and curled. Add the sauce to the skilled and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and heat thoroughly. Garnish with green onions and parsley.

This is the recipe I have.

I deviate, slightly. I cook the shrimp separately, about 1/2 way done. I don't like mushy shrimp, and I find the recipe above calls for the shrimp to be cooked way too long. I add the shrimp to the very end of the dish, once the Roban sauce coats the back of the spoon. I also add a slight pinch of garlic to the sauce, at the very beginning stages after the butter has melted to go along with the chopped green onions and Louisiana Blackened Seasoning.
