Shrimp Etouffee

June 3, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 27 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited about today’s recipe.  The last couple of summers I went to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for foodie events and I fell in love with Southern foods.  I have never tasted food with such flavor and flair.  I guess that’s because hot sauce originated in Louisiana?  A place after my own heart,  I think I may have a little Southern girl in me?  This past weekend it was cool and windy out and I was craving some good old southern comfort food, so I thought I would try making Shrimp Etouffee, pronounced ay/too/fay. Oh my gosh, amazing!  This is my favorite southern recipe I have made so far, next to my Southern Biscuits.

Shrimp Etouffee

This shrimp dish is thick, hearty, slightly spicy and flavors of onions, garlic, tomatoes and Cajun seasoning. It is a classic New Orleans dish. For the recipe I used my homemade Cajun Seasonings and to add a touch of heat I added a few dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce. This dish takes about an hour to make, but it’s very simple.
Shrimp Etouffee
I served the recipe with brown rice that I cooked in chicken broth. The rice really picks up all the juices in the recipe and I highly recommend rice or even quinoa. To make the rice like in the photo’s, I just packed it into a 1/2 cup measuring cup and then took a butter knife around the edges. It popped right into my dish. I think it’s pretty cool looking. That was the first time I have ever done that.

Here is a photo of my step by step of the recipe. I thought I would take the photos with my phone so you can see the colors and the stages of cooking.  Sorry if they are a little blurry.

Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Shrimp
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • ½ cup sliced celery
  • ½ cup chopped green peppers
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp. fresh thyme
  • 2 cup chicken broth, low sodium
  • 1 ( 14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tbsp. cajun seasoning
  • 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
  • 2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tsp. hot sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions (green onions)
  • 2 tbsp. fresh parsley
  • Rice:
  • 2 cups chicken broth, low sodium
  • 2½ cups brown rice (I used instant)
Instructions
  1. Season shrimp with about a tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat, cook until melted; add the flour, whisking constantly until dark brown (color of peanut butter), about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the onion, celery and peppers to the roux and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for a minute.
  5. Whisk in the broth, add the tomatoes, Cajun seasoning and Worcestershire sauce and simmer for 20 minutes.
  6. Add the shrimp and cook until cooked, about 5 minutes.
  7. Season with hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Mix in the butter, lemon juice, green onion and parsley.
  9. To make rice:
  10. Bring 2 cups chicken broth to a boil. Stir in rice, bring to a bowl, lower heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. (I started the rice when the Shrimp Etouffee was simmering for 20 minutes)
  11. Evenly divide rice and Shrimp Etouffee between 6 bowls.
Notes
You can serve with quinoa instead of rice if desired.

Shrimp Etouffee
Yummy! This recipe makes 6 nice hearty size servings and believe me it’s very filling too.  I had leftovers for lunch the next day and the flavors come to better even better.  I of course added a little more hot sauce to it, because I pretty much add hot sauce to almost everything.  lol


Shrimp Etouffee

I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I have. I’m pretty proud to make a classic, traditional New Orleans style recipe. So if your craving shrimp and spice, you should give this recipe a try.

Have a wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I cannot eat anything too spicy for health reasons. I understand everyones idea of spicy is different but what would you compare this too on a spicy level?

      Hi, I didn’t find this too spicy. It all depends on the Cajun seasoning you use. You can use a creole seasoning too. Just Look for seasoning that does not contain cayenne pepper. On my Monday post I made homemade Cajun seasoning, check that recipe out and just omit the csyenne pepper. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Have a great day!

      Not spicy. Don’t add the hot sauce. It’s a delicious recipe…but if you have problems with heat, foego the hot sauce!

    This looks delicious!! I think it may go on my menu this weekend. 🙂 Quick question – does the nutritional information include the rice? (I’m assuming it does, but wanted to double check). Thanks for a great looking recipe!

    2 tbsp garlic? That seems like a lot??

      It’s minced garlic, I would use two cloves of garlic in the dish. If your not a garlic fan go for less. You can taste it and maybe add a little bit of garlic powder at the end. Hope you like it as much as we do.

        And the Cajun seasoning – it says to toss 1 Tbsp with the shrimp but then later it says to add Cajun seasoning with the Worcestershire sauce. Is that another tablespoon? So there’s 2 tbsp total? Just making sure 🙂

            I made it and it was great!! A little too spicy though, my lips were hurting. I threw in a splash of sriracha, I’ll leave that out next time and maybe only do an extra 1/2 tbsp of Cajun seasoning instead of 1 with the Worcestershire. I usually love spicy – I think my Cajun was spicy! Also, I buy the minced kind of garlic in the jar, and it says 1/2 tsp is a clove so I only did 1 tsp instead of 2 Tbsp. It was really good, thanks!

    This was really good…the only thing I would change is not putting the seasoning on the shrimp..makes it a little to salty. I will make this again

    I made this dish and it’s delcious. I substituted the chicken broth with Knorr vegetable bouillon (1 cube per 2 cups of water) and I used about a 1/3 cup of tomato sauce instead of tomatoes. I followed everything else just as written. Highly recommend this dish, Thank you!

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.

What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
