Easy Shrimp Etouffee’
This is an easy version of the authentic Shrimp Etouffee that you might be use to. This is a dish that my friend, who is also from Louisiana, makes and we all love it! An authentic Etouffee is roux based, which is made with flour and oil cooked down to a dark brownish color. To make a roux, it takes time and patience, which many of us do not have, so this recipe will give you the flavors of an authentic etouffee, but easier and faster! This recipe calls for shrimp and sausage as the protein but you could use crawfish or chicken. Dice 3 stalks of celery, 1/2 bell pepper, 1/2 onion and 1 pack of smoked sausage.
In a pan, add 1/2 tsp vegetable oil, veggies and sausages. Season with 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder and 1 tbsp cajun seasoning. Cook until the sausage has browned.
Once the sausage is browned and the veggies are soft, add the can of diced tomatoes and the cans of cream of mushroom and stir well.
Once the cream of mushroom and tomatoes are mixed in well, add the chicken stock.
Stir well and cover the pot. Cook for 20 minutes on med heat or until the sauce has turned a brown color.
Remove the lid and stir well. Peel 1 pound of shrimp and cut into 3 sections or into halves. Add the shrimp to the pan.
Cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the sauce has gotten darker. Serve with some rice and ENJOY!
