A classic dish from The Big Easy.
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 2 hours | Total Time: 2 hours, 10 minutes | Servings: 10
Ingredients:
Cajun Seasoning:
- ¼ cup Stonemill Iodized Table Salt
- ¼ cup Stonemill Chili Powder
- ¼ cup Stonemill Essentials Paprika
- ¼ cup Stonemill Garlic Powder
- ¼ cup Stonemill Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Stonemill Onion Powder
- 2 tablespoons Stonemill Oregano
- 2 tablespoons Stonemill Parsley Flakes
Etouffee:
- 5 tablespoons Countryside Creamery Butter
- 5 tablespoons Baker's Corner All Purpose Flour
- 3 cups Chef's Cupboard Vegetable Cooking Stock
- 2 medium white onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons Stonemill Minced Garlic in Water
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 14.5 ounces Happy Harvest Diced Tomatoes
- 2 16-ounce bags Fremont Fish Market Jumbo Easy Peel Raw Shrimp
- Burman's Hot Sauce, to taste
- ½ cup sliced green onions
Directions:
- In a small bowl, combine all Cajun seasoning ingredients. Reserve.
- In a large pan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook until roux is the color of peanut butter.
- Whisk in vegetable stock until fully incorporated. Season with 4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, then stir in onions, garlic, bell peppers and celery. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the roux from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and simmer for another 30 minutes.
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water and drain thoroughly. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp in 5 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
- Stir shrimp into sauce and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Season to taste with hot sauce. Serve immediately over rice, if desired. Garnish with green onions.
TIP: Store leftover Cajun seasoning for up to six months, or use this seasoning to make our Cajun Chicken Pot Pie.
