HOT DAMN THIS IS GOOD. I made a handful of substitutions due to what I had available in the kitchen. I used dried thyme instead of fresh, chicken broth instead of seafood broth, and added a bit of cumin since the Cajun seasoning I had needed a little “backbone.” 10/10 would make again!

Amazing!!! And so perfect for Fat Tuesday!

A New Orleans classic - shrimp etouffee! We're making etouffee from scratch and I'm even using my own cajun seasoning blend. Serve shrimp etouffee with rice and it is the ultimate comfort food!

ROUX: Heat the oil in a large dutch...

ROUX: Heat the oil in a large dutch oven or a heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour until combined and smooth, if the roux is cooking too quickly, lower the heat to medium. Switch to a wooden spoon and continuously stir for 20-27 minutes or until the roux darkens to just past a deep peanut butter color and is almost a little red in color. Do not let the roux burn! (if you smell it burning, you will need to throw is out, clean the pot, and start over, unfortunately, there’s just no saving burnt roux!)

SIMMER: Once the roux reaches that deep rich...

SIMMER: Once the roux reaches that deep rich brown color, stir in the onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, scallions (white part,) and celery and continue to cook, stirring as needed so the vegetables don’t stick. About 5-7 minutes or until the veggies soften. Add the garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute until the garlic is nice and fragrant. Add the shrimp stock, cajun seasoning, hot sauce, bay leaves, and bring to a boil, lower the heat to low and allow the étouffée to simmer for 15 minutes.

FINISH: Add the shrimp, give it a stir...

FINISH: Add the shrimp, give it a stir and allow to continue to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Turn off the heat, throw in the knob of butter and stir so it melts into the étouffée. Remove the bay leaves, serve warm over rice topped with green onions!

Creole Shrimp Étouffée. This classic southern stew is full of tender shrimp, the &quot;Holy Trinity&quot; of veggies, and flavored with a decadent golden roux. This stew has a subtle heat thanks to seasoning, but served over rice is the ultimate in Louisiana comfort food! 

Creole Shrimp Étouffée

lbs shrimp (medium to large)

all purpose flour

celery (diced)

green bell pepper

chicken broth

clam juice

tbsp cajun seasoning

tbsp worcestershire sauce

hot sauce

tomatoes

salt

white rice (cooked)

Prepare the shrimp by peeling, deveining, and removing the tails. Place the shrimp in a medium size bowl, cover and store in refrigerator. If making your own shrimp broth save the shells, instructions are in notes below to make your own Shrimp Broth.

Melt butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Sprinkle with flour and stir to combine.

Cook this roux over medium heat for 12-15 minutes until the roux is a golden brown color. Stir constantly while cooking to prevent burning.

Add in the onion, celery and bell pepper. Stir to coat in the roux. Continue to cook another 5 minutes or until the veggies have softened. Add in the garlic and stir.

Pour in the broth and clam juice, stir to combine. Then add in the additional seasonings, worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Stir in the tomatoes. Let this come to a simmer, cooking for 8-10 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the broth, cover and let cook for 10 minutes.

Serve the shrimp etouffee over cooked white rice. Garnish with fresh parsley or sliced green onion if desired.
