Shrimp Etouffee- a quick 15-minute dinner.

The recipe I was handed down by my mother. It's very easy and delicious!





Ingredients:

1lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails off.
8oz can tomato sauce
8oz water
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1 large clove of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (maximum amount needed for seasoning etouffee)
2 tablespoons butter
Oil for saute pan
Cooked white rice for serving.

Step 1:
   
Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to a large sautee pan, set to medium heat.

Step 2: 

Add the chopped onions and garlic and green onions to the pan and sautee for a few minutes until soft.

Step 3:

Add the can of tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 4:


Mix the tablespoon of flour into the 8oz of water, whisk until no longer lumpy.

Step 5:


 Add the flour/water mixture to the pan.


Step 6:


Bring to a simmer.

Step 7: 


Add shrimp.

Step 8:

Once the shrimp are cooked completely, turn off the stove burner, and stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter, allow to cool slightly.

I have never cooked with shrimp before, so this might be a dumb question! Is the shrimp frozen or thawed?

Thanks!
The shrimp is thawed in this recipe. And it wasn't a dumb question! =)

this dish would cost around $18 at a nice restaurant and you would only receive 5-6 shrimp. this recipe is so simply, tastes great and you have left overs!

While I love the shrimp, we aren't big on creole seasonings. Is there anything else you think we could substitute for this?
