Shrimp Etouffee

This is a nightmare from last winter, however I am posting it now in honor of my recent trip to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast along with the my overindulgence in fresh seafood while I was there. 
Rice, mushrooms, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, Tabasco, mayo, radishes, green onions, bell pepper, celery, Worcestershire sauce, shrimp and chicharrones.

Nightmare ingredient - gross, oily, fresh chicharrones.

Chopped celery, onions, garlic and bell peppers.

Lot's of butter is necessary for a great roux.

Melt butter


Add flour and stir continuously.

The mixture will become creamy. 

Your roux is ready when it is just barely turning color.

At this time you will want to add your chopped vegetables.

Along with a can of diced tomatoes

Seafood stock

Stir, stir, stir.

I found these in the drawer and decided to use them for marinated onions.

Marinate onions in cider vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes.


Chopped mushrooms

Making spicy ranch dressing.


Sauteing Cajun glazed mushrooms.

Add shrimp and cook until done.
