Instructions
- Add the oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour to avoid any lumps.
- Use a wooden spoon and stir continuously for at least 15 minutes, until mixture turns a dark caramel color. Take your time to avoid burning it.
- Turn heat to low and add the onion, green pepper, and celery. Cook vegetables in the roux for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Add garlic and cook another minute.
- Add the clam juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, cajun seasoning, salt, black and cayenne pepper and thyme. Bring to a boil, turn heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. If you prefer it thinner, add 1/4 cup seafood or chicken stock (optional).
- While the étouffée simmers, heat a saute pan hot over medium high heat. Add a little oil to the pan and add the shrimp and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until no longer translucent. Turn heat off and add butter. Swirl to coat shrimp. Transfer shrimp into etouffee and toss to mix.
- Place cooked rice in center of bowl or plate. Add a scoop of the shrimp etouffee around rice. Garnish with parsley and green onions.
