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.

Looks delicious! I definitely want to give this a shot. Looking forward to your blog!! By the way, I made a few suggestions on WTE :-)
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! =)
I'm SO going to try this :) Thanks Amanda!
I tried this tonight. It was Fantastic!!!!! Along with the garlic parmesan pull apart bread. Great meal!
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?
Super delish!!! Thank you for sharing your families recipe :)
