Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

3 Celery Ribs, finely diced

4 Garlic Cloves, minced

1 Green Bell Pepper, finely diced

4 cups low-sodium Chicken Stock

1/4 cup olive oil

1 Onion, finely diced

Parsley, finely chopped

1 pound Raw Large Shrimp, peeled and seasoned

Salt & Pepper

Scallions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning Mix

1 pound Turkey Sausage, sliced

1/2 cup Unbleached Flour

2 Tbs. Unsalted Butter

Equipment:

dutch oven

spatula

whisk

frying pan

pot

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Prep everything beforehand. Dice the trinity (onion, celery, bell pepper), mince garlic, season shrimp with salt and pepper, etc.
  2. In a medium-heated heavy pot or dutch oven, fry sliced sausage with a little olive oil and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add butter and about 1/4 cup of olive oil. When butter melts, quickly whisk in flour until fully incorporated. Using a wooden spatula, stir continuously (to prevent flour from scorching) until roux is brown, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add trinity and garlic to the mix and cook for another 5 minutes or so. Make sure the roux doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, so add more oil if you need to.
  5. Now, add the stock to deglaze the pot for a couple of minutes. Then, sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning mix and bring to a boil. Let reduce uncovered, still in medium heat, for about 40 minutes or until liquid reaches a gravy-like consistency.
  6. In the end, stir in the sausage slices and raw shrimp for a couple more minutes. When it returns to boil, turn off heat and re-season accordingly. Let simmer for another 5 minutes before serving.
  7. To serve, plate a bed of rice and smother with etouffee. Garnish liberally with parsley and scallions.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
