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.

SHRIMP & CRAB ETOUFFEE



Shrimp & Crab Etouffee image

This is a slightly modified version of a recipe I got out of the "Best of the Best from West Virginia" cookbook. My husband loves Cajun and Etouffee is one of his favorites. This is a wonderful recipe. It is really spicy as written, so you may want to adjust the seasoning to suit your own taste.

  • While this is cooking, peel and devein shrimp.
  • Save the shells and make a stock by boiling them in the water and seafood seasoning 8-10 minutes, then strain.

CAJUN CRAWFISH AND SHRIMP ÉTOUFFéE



Cajun Crawfish and Shrimp Étouffée image

An authentic Louisiana recipe with a rich and spicy fresh tomato-based roux with fresh garlic, bell peppers, celery and onions mixed with crawfish and shrimp. A little time consuming but well worth it! Serve over steamed rice with hushpuppies and/or crackers on the side.

Categories     Etouffee

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅓ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
⅓ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup fish stock
1 pound crawfish tails
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns 'peanut butter' brown or darker, at least 15 or 20 minutes. I use a large fork with the flat side to the bottom of the pan in a side to side motion. This is your base sauce or 'roux'. It is very important to stir this constantly. If by chance the roux burns, discard and start over.
  • Once the roux is browned, add the onions, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the skillet, and saute for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and fish stock, and season with the seafood seasoning. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season the sauce with hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper (if using), and add the crawfish and shrimp. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.
