Shrimp Étouffée is a Louisiana classic, made famous by the restaurants of New Orleans. Here is my family’s take on it. It’s not made with a roux, but neither is our okra gumbo. They both taste delicious!  Please try it and let me know what you think.

Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked white rice
Fresh chopped parsley to garnish

Instructions

1.   Heat large pan to medium heat, then add oil. 

2.   Add the bell pepper, onion and celery. Gently
      stir while cooking ingredients down until  
      softened. (3 minutes)
      
3.   Add chopped tomatoes and garlic and continue to stir. (1minute)

4.   Add the stock, along with The Cook Shop Creole Seasoning Blend, Worcestershire sauce, hot  
      sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.       

5.   Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer at least 30 minutes.

6.   While the sauce is simmering, lightly season the shrimp with The Cook Shop Creole Seasoning 
      Blend and lightly salt and pepper. Add shrimp to simmering  sauce and let  cook 3 minutes or 
      until pink in color.  

Spoon the etouffe over white rice, garnish and serve.
