How to Make Regal Alaskan's Blackened Shrimp Or Halibut

  1. **Prepare the Blackening Seasoning:** In a bowl, thoroughly combine the following ingredients: (See ingredient list for measurements)
  2. **Prepare the Cajun Hollandaise Sauce:** Melt 4 tbsp butter in a pan. Add the diced ham (2 oz) and cooked shrimp (8 oz). Sauté until shrimp is cooked through. Stir in the blackening seasoning to taste and let cool completely. Once cooled, gently fold in the diced tomato (1/4 cup), chopped green onion (2 tbsp), and prepared hollandaise sauce (1 cup).
  3. **Prepare the Shrimp:** Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp (1 lb).
  4. **Prepare the Halibut:** Cut halibut filets (1 lb) into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick pieces.
  5. **Preheat and Cook:** Preheat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over high heat to 700°F (using a BBQ grill, outdoor propane cooker, or stovetop).
  6. **Sear the Seafood:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the hot skillet. Dredge the shrimp or halibut filets in the melted butter, then coat one side generously with the blackening seasoning. Place the seasoned side down in the skillet and cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and coat the other side with seasoning. Continue cooking until the seafood reaches your desired doneness (Shrimp: 2-3 minutes per side; Halibut: 3-4 minutes per side).
  7. **For Thicker Cuts:** For steaks or thicker halibut, sear as above and then transfer to a preheated 350°F oven to finish cooking until done.
  8. **Serve:** Serve the blackened shrimp or halibut immediately over a pool of the Cajun hollandaise sauce. Offer extra sauce for dipping.
  9. **Important Note:** This cooking method produces significant smoke. Cook outdoors only, using proper ventilation. Do not attempt to cook indoors.
