Shrimp Etouffée

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4  Serving size: 1 1/2 cups
In this complex Louisiana specialty, shrimp (or, if you can get them, crayfish) are smothered (etouffée) in a mixture of simmered aromatic vegetables. Thanks to Fat-Free Brown Roux (see recipe, p. 49), we’ve trimmed the fat considerably. It requires some time, but each step is critical in adding a layer of flavor, including simmering the shrimp in their flavorful shells. You can’t take any short-cuts on this dish! Serve it with hot cooked rice and a crisp green salad on the side.


   Bouillon:
   3 cups water
   1 medium onion, quartered
   2 cloves garlic, flattened with a knife
   1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
   1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
   1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
   1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
   1 bay leaf
   1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shells on
   Etouffee
   1 tablespoon canola oil
   1 medium onion, chopped
   1 green bell peppers, or red, chopped
   2 stalks celery, chopped
   1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
   2 cloves large garlic, minced
   Cayenne pepper to taste
   2 tablespoons Brown Roux , see recipe
   Fresh lemon juice to taste
   Fresh ground pepper to taste


1. To prepare the bouillon, in a large saucepan, combine the water, onion, garlic, black pepper, thyme, coriander, pepper flakes, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Add the shrimp; reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes.
2. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a bowl; when cool enough to handle, peel the shrimp and set aside. Discard the shells. Strain the broth and return it to the saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a large, nonstick saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, green onions, jalapeño pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the roux and stir to incorporate. Add the reserved bouillon and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with lemon juice, cayenne, and ground pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the shrimp.
