A comforting and flavorful Southern dish featuring succulent shrimp in a rich roux with aromatic vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice for serving
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
  2. Add the flour to the skillet, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook until it reaches a light brown color, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Gradually stir in the vegetable broth and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well to combine everything.
  5. Carefully add the shrimp to the pan, along with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  6. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shrimp are cooked through and tender.
  7. Serve the shrimp etouffee over a generous scoop of cooked rice, garnishing with freshly chopped green onions.

Notes

For a spicier version, increase the Cajun seasoning or add diced jalapeños. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
