CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP ETOUFFEE



Chef John's Shrimp Etouffee image

We're going to use this spicy and delicious New Orleans classic to demonstrate that it is possible to get good results from using waterlogged frozen shrimp, which unfortunately is sometimes the only option. To make them work we've got to use a few tricks. I prefer this with little chunks of browned chicken or pork, actually.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

¾ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon white pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup diced onion
⅓ cup diced green bell pepper
⅓ cup thinly sliced celery
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup diced tomatoes
1 ¾ cups chicken stock, or as needed
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce, or more to taste
salt to taste
¼ cup sliced green onions
2 cups cooked rice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk paprika, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Drain shrimp in a colander for at least 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl lined with paper towels and dry shrimp for about 3 minutes. Remove paper towels from bowl and season shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon spice blend. Toss to coat shrimp with spice blend.
  • Heat vegetable oil a large heavy skillet over high heat until oil is smoking hot. Cook shrimp in the hot oil without stirring for 1 minute; stir, and cook 1 minute more.
  • Transfer shrimp to a large bowl. Let stand until juice forms in bowl. Strain shrimp juices into chicken stock to total 2 cups, adding more chicken stock if necessary.
  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to turn tan at the edges. Saute onion, celery, and green pepper in hot butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in remaining spice blend.
  • Sprinkle flour into vegetable mixture and saute until combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until tomato juices begin to brown on bottom of pan, about 3 minutes. Whisk stock into vegetable mixture, stirring until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened and reduced to a gravy consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Season with salt to taste.
  • Stir shrimp into etouffee sauce; let simmer until shrimp are cooked all the way through and no longer translucent, about 1 minute.
  • Garnish with green onions and a dusting of cayenne pepper. Pour over rice in large, shallow bowls.

CREAMY SHRIMP ÉTOUFFéE



Creamy Shrimp Étouffée image

Cajun or Creole, what's the difference? Well they're both cuisines in Louisiana, but the difference can be found by the addition of tomato. This étouffée is best served with warm crusty bread to sop up the sauce. I do use tomato powder, but feel free to use tomato paste if your spice cabinet doesn't include this incredible staple. Serve over hot cooked rice.

FIVE STAR SHRIMP ETOUFFEE



Five Star Shrimp Etouffee image

If you've never eaten authentic creole, you truly don't know what you're missing. I discovered this Louisiana favorite while residing there and it was love at first bite. This dish has a very unique taste that defies description. It is very easy to make, and you're doing yourself a serious disservice if you don't give it a try. You can use crawfish rather than shrimp. Crawfish are simply not plentiful where I now live. Don't be lured into making an "easy" version of this with Ro-tel or mushroom soup. This is easy enough to make from scratch.
