Shrimp Etouffee
This is one of my favorite dishes.I do it a little different to add more flaver. You can always add crawfish tails to this recipe. I usually use homemade shrimp stock. However, you can always use store-bought seafood stock.
Servings: 4

Equipment

- 4 Cups cooked white rice
- 1 Cajun Beaver Hot Sauce
- 2 tbsp Cajun Beaver Rub
- 1 tsp Cajun Beaver Rub
- Avocado oil or good olive oil/ unsalted butter
Instructions
- After removing the shells & cleaning your shrimp. Pat them dry & put them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Then mix in 2 tablespoons of the Cajun Beaver Rub. Put in the fridge for at least 30 min to an hour.
- In a Dutch oven or a heavy bottom pot. On medium high heat. Melt the butter then slowly add the flour whisking as you go. Once all incorporated reduce heat to medium. Keep whisking every few minutes. Wisk for about 25-35 minutes until it turns a beautiful dark drown.
- While your rue is doing its thing. On medium high. In the sauté pan add all your Shimp. Do not overcrowd. Do 2- 3 batches if you need to. Cook on both sides for 2 minutes until almost cooked through. Please don't overcook. When done put into a bowl.
- When the shrimp is done. In the same sauté pan add some oil at medium high heat. Sauté all the vegetables for about 5-8 min. until soft.
- Cook rice as directed. About 20 minutes.
- Once the rue is a dark brown. Slowly add the Shrimp stock. Whisking continuously. It will initially clump up. As you add more it will loosen up. It should be like a nice gravy consistency. Once you get it to the consistency that you like add 1 teaspoon of the Cajun Beaver Rub. You can always add some water or more shrimp stock to loosen it up if you like. Add the vegetables. Finally add the shrimp. Mix well.
- Add 1 cup of rice to your plate. Spoon some of the shrimp mixture to the center of the rice. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!Eat like a king you deserve it.
