Shrimp Etouffee

Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons butter

1/2 cup flour

4 cups onions, chopped

2 cups green bell peppers, chopped

2 cups celery, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 14.5 ounces can diced tomatoes

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves

Steamed white rice, for serving

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions:

Melt the butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the flour and stir continuously to make a roux.
Stir the roux over the medium heat until it’s the color of peanut butter, it will take 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 all the seasonings listed. Cook the tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes and then whisk in the chicken stock.
Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Let cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shrimp to the pot, stir 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 white rice and garnish with the sliced green onions.
