Best Shrimp Etouffee A 2 Fay Recipes

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.

Ingredients

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.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped green bell peppers
2 cups chopped celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
1 quart shrimp stock, recipe follows
3 pounds medium shrimp (21 to 25 count per pound), peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
Steamed white rice, for serving
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion tops, for garnish
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 pound (about 1 quart) shrimp shells and heads
1 cup coarsely chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery
1/2 cup coarsely chopped carrots
3 smashed garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the flour and stir continuously to make a roux. Stir the roux over medium heat until the color of peanut butter, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic to the roux, and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pot and season with the bay leaves, salt, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon of the Essence. Cook the tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes and then whisk in the shrimp stock.
Bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook the etouffee, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Season the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon of Essence and add them to the pot, stirring to evenly distribute. Cook the shrimp for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Add the chopped parsley to the pot and stir to combine.
Serve immediately over steamed white rice and garnish with sliced green onion tops.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Place the shrimp shells and heads in a large colander and rinse under cold running water for several minutes.
Combine the shrimp shells and remaining ingredients in a heavy 6-quart stockpot, add 4 quarts water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim to remove any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, skimming occasionally.
Remove the stock from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container; let cool completely. Refrigerate the stock for up to 3 days or freeze in airtight containers for up to 2 months.

After 20 years of going to the restaurant and ordering the same thing everytime and always trying to remember exactly what I tasted I FINALLY was able to achieve a possibly better version, at least my family thinks so. I do hope you enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound(s) unsalted butter
1 1/2 quart(s) yellow onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup(s) chopped garlic
2 cup(s) celery, chopped fine
1 1/2 cup(s) bell pepper, chopped fine
1 cup(s) dark gumbo roux
1 cup(s) light gumbo roux
1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon(s) paprika
2 tablespoon(s) salt
6 cup(s) shrimp stock
1 1/2 can(s) diced tomatoes
3 pound(s) shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

Making shrimp stock, you will want to buy shrimp with heads, so on average 5 lbs will yield the 3 lbs of tails you need for the etouffee. After you have de-headed and peeled the shrimp place heads and peels in a large stockpot and cover them 7 cups water, 1 tsp of Old Bay and boil for 40 minutes.
In a saucepan, melt butter until almost clarified, then add yellow onions and garlic, cook for 20-30 minutes until onions start to brown and caramelize. Stir. Add celery and bell pepper, cook until limber (about 10 minutes).
Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, red pepper, paprika, salt and blond and dark roux to butter and vegetables in pan. Cook until roux dissolves (about 10 minutes).
Add shrimp stock to pan mixture and bring to simmer; let cook for 15 minutes.
Add shrimp and let cook for 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes, blend and cook for one minute. Remember to let cool before refridgerating. Will freeze beautifully. *You can substitute crawfish for the shrimp. Makes 1 gallon.
