Pan Fried Snapper with Sauternes Butter Reduction with Crab and Shrimp, Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms, and Sauteed Veggies

[indaswamp]

Local caught and processed lump crab meat went on sale so I decided to open a bottle of Sauternes that my Uncle had given to me before he passed away and cook a great meal. The crab was $20/#....so I pulled out a large snapper filet from the freezer for the meal. I had been wanting to make this sauce for a while now...decided to go ahead and do it.

Half bottle of 2005 Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes...

Sorry but not any picks of the process...I was entertaining company. But did manage to snap a pic. of the plate...

Oh, and the shrooms....

That looks delightful Keith! I would love to sit down to that buddy. You gonna have to make that sauce again and show us how.

Here is the sauce....

I added the seafood just before adding the butter, cooked through couple minutes, then I added the butter....

I put in blender without butter, back into pan, add seafood, cook through, then finish with butter......

Always nice when you get the locally processed fresh crab meat. I refuse to use anything else or I buy it live steam it and the wife picks it as I don't have the patience.

Keith, what a delicious looking meal. Nothing there I would not just enjoy to the fullest.

It’s hard to lose the ones we care for and love so much… but know you done your Uncle proud with that meal and use of his work. He was for sure smiling down on you!

Very well done my friend!

Sauternes was the first wine my Uncle shared with me. It was during our big family fishing trip. I asked him what is the best way to enjoy this wine, he told me to take very small sips and let the wine evolve in the glass over time...and the flavor will change with every sip as the wine warms, oxidizes, and changes in the glass. He was right. From apricot, to buttered pecan, to glazed apples, to apricot, to honey, to cashew, to bing cherry, to hazelnut.

That memory has stuck with me for over 20 years. It was nice to relive the experience with this bottle. So if you are a supertater and have never experienced a great bottle of Premiere Cru Classe 1855 Sauternes....put that on your bucket list....

Thank you Brian. It was a really good meal. We also had a charcuterie board with Calabrian Lonzino, Lemon drop melon, fresh ripe figs, and marscapone cheese. Served that with a bottle of Italian Prosecco DOCG. Strawberries and homemade fresh whipped cream for dessert with the dessert wine.

Absolutely looks and sounds delicious Keith. Please tell more on that sauce.

Thanks SE! It was very good!

Thanks norm. Yes, always great to have access to fresh seafood. I would go and catch my own crabs right now, but still waiting on my boat to finish being repaired.
