Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 green bell pepper , diced
- 1 yellow onion , diced
- 2 ribs celery , diced
- 3 garlic cloves , pressed or minced
- 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 15- ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth , or water, or shrimp stock
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 2-3 shakes of hot sauce
- 1 pound uncooked medium-size shrimp , (shelled and deveined)
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Cooked white rice or brown rice
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic and cook until the vegetables become tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Cajun seasoning and cook for 1 minute for the spices to bloom and become fragrant. Sprinkle with the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes so the flour loses its raw flavor.
- Stir in the chicken broth (or water or shrimp stock), then the diced tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce. Bring to a simmer then reduce to low and cook for 20-25 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Add more broth or water as needed.
- Add the shrimp and cook just until opaque and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add more broth or water if the broth is too thick. Taste for seasoning then sprinkle with green onion and chopped parsley, and serve over white or brown rice.
