Servings: 6

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

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
