Shrimp Étouffée is a dish steeped in Cajun tradition and often enjoyed on Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) as a celebration before Lent. This recipe features a rich, roux-based sauce prepared with homemade shrimp stock, a well-balanced spice blend, and a medley of vegetables. 


The shrimp is lightly seared and then simmered in the sauce until perfectly cooked. While it's a standout dish for Mardi Gras celebrations, its robust flavors make it a satisfying meal any time of the year.

    Directions

      blank

      1. Peel the raw shrimp, placing the shrimp in a bowl and the shells into a medium saucepan.

      2. Combine shrimp shells, vegetable or chicken broth (or water), bay leaves, and any saved vegetable trimmings in a saucepan.
      3. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
      4. Strain the stock and discard the solids.

      1. In a small bowl, mix all the spices listed for the spice blend.

      blank

      1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice blend.

      2. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a 6-quart rondeau (or large skillet) over medium-high heat until just smoking.
      3. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the shrimp for 1 minute on each side. Set aside.

      1. In the same skillet, add butter over medium heat and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

      2. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
      3. Stir in the remaining spice blend. Then sift or sprinkle in the flour; cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring consistently.
      4. Mix in the minced garlic and diced tomatoes; cook for 2 more minutes.
      5. Add 2 cups of the shrimp stock, ½ cup at a time, stirring until smooth. Then simmer until the sauce thickens to a gravy-like consistency (about 4–6 minutes). Add remaining shrimp stock if the sauce is too thick.
      6. Stir in the Worcestershire and hot sauces.

      1. Add the seared shrimp to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute, ensuring the shrimp are fully cooked and opaque.
