EASY SHRIMP ETOUFFEE



Easy Shrimp Etouffee image

I got this recipe from a Coast Guard wife whose husband worked with mine. She was from a tiny town in Louisiana and said sometimes her dad would work for shrimp when it was in season and her mom would make this with some homemade biscuits to go with it. I lost this recipe once, and tried some more elaborate recipes for the etoufee, but this ones is TONS better than any I've tried.

EMERIL'S SHRIMP ETOUFFEE



Emeril's Shrimp Etouffee image

Bought a new Dutch Oven and this recipe from Emeril Lagasse (sp?) came with it. Gave it a try and it was pretty simple and DH loved it. It looked pretty impressive too. Served it with steamed white rice. I'm guessing at the serving size as it only states 3 quarts. Edited to include shrimp and amount (how could I forget something that important) thanks Grease for bringing it to my attention. Also for the Essence I used recipe#14372.

Yield 3 quarts, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons Emeril's Original Essence
3 lbs medium shrimp (21-25 count)
4 cups vegetable stock (or water)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup green onion top, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • in 3.5 quart dutch oven (or heavy pan) set over medium heat, melt butter, Once butter melted, add flour to pot and stir continuously to make a roux, Stir roux over medium heat until it becomes the color of peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
  • Add onions, peppers, celery and garlic to roux, cook stirring often for about 10 minutes.
  • Pour tomatoes into pot and season with bay leaves, salt and 1 tablespoon of Emeril's Original Essence (I used the recipe on Zaar), Cook tomatoes for 2-3 minutes and then add stock, Use a whisk to briskly incorporate the stock into the roux, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, Cook the etouffee stirring occasionally for 45 minutes.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp - I left tails on. Season the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon of Emeril's Original Essence and add to the pot, stirring to evenly distribute shrimp, Cook the shrimp for 5-7 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through, Add chopped parsley to pot and stir to combine, Serve etouffee with steamed white rice, Garnish with green onion tops.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dark beer
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 -5 dashes Tabasco sauce
3 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large cast iron skillet.
  • The cast iron is very important as this is what helps develop the very dark color of the roux.
  • Blend in flour and stir over medium heat, until the roux is dark brown.
  • Be patient, this will take at least 20 minutes and should be the consistency of dark rich peanut butter.
  • This is the key to good etouffee.
  • Don't be tempted to turn up the heat, just keep stirring!
  • Add onion, celery, green peppers and garlic; cook until tender crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add all spices except parsley and cook another 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir in shrimp, beer and broth and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Add fresh parsley and simmer five more minutes.
  • Serve etouffee over hot cooked rice.
  • Serve with icy cold beer and very crusty French bread.

GRANDMA CASSIE'S SHRIMP ÉTOUFéE



Grandma Cassie's Shrimp Étoufée image

This dish reminds me of home and discovery. Not only is it the first dish I learned how to make from start to finish, it is a dish that exemplifies the beauty of creole cooking. Toast the roux too little, it will be too thick, toast the roux too much, and you have an entirely different dish. When it all comes together it's magic, and this recipe is wizardry 101.
