Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Roux

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the roux, stirring continuously, until it reaches a deep brown color (about 20-30 minutes).

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the roux. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Protein

    Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage and cook for 5 minutes until it begins to brown slightly.

  2. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add the Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the seasonings evenly throughout the mixture.

  3. 5

    Add Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 6

    Add Shrimp

    After the mixture has simmered for 30 minutes, add the shrimp. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve with Rice

    Remove the bay leaves from the pot. Serve the Etouffee over a bed of cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley.
