Special Equipment
1 griddle pan
1. To prepare the shrimp cakes in a large bowl
combine mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, shrimp, red onion, basil,
freshly ground black pepper, salt and egg yolks. Mix well to combine
and set aside covered and refrigerated for 1 hour.
2. Remove shrimp mixture from fridge and, using your hands, form
into 4 oz cakes pressing patting the cakes to remove any excess
air.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high (about 450°-500°F).
4. Season redfish filets with butter, Cajun seasoning and salt and
pepper to taste. Place on grill. Grill fish, turning once, for about
6 to 8 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork and is fully
cooked.
5. While the fish grills drop 2 tbsp. butter into griddle pan. Lay
shrimp cakes into butter griddle pan and grill for about 10 to 15
minutes, turning once until crispy and cooked through. Repeat with
remaining shrimp cakes, adding more butter to griddle as needed,
and set aside on griddle pan. Baste grilled shrimp cakes with more
butter and set to one side of griddle pan to keep warm.
6. Place bacon on griddle pan and grill for 5 to 6 minutes until
fully cooked and crisp. Move bacon to sides of griddle pan.
7. Add 2 tbsp. butter to griddle pan and crack eggs into pan. Season
with salt and pepper to taste and fry for 2 to 3 minutes until cooked.
8. While eggs grill, spread remaining 2 tbsp. butter onto bread
and grill toast for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly charred and warmed
through.
9. To assemble the breakfast, remove toast from grill and top each
slice with one grilled shrimp cake. Remove grilled redfish filets
from skin and place one filet over top each shrimp cake and top
with grilled bacon and an egg.
10. Serve immediately.
