TOTAL TIME
1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3
Stir in the diced onion, diced red bell pepper, and diced celery. Cook the vegetables for 8-10 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
4
Meanwhile, make the roux by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes, whisking frequently to prevent burning.
5
Add seafood stock to the roux and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
6
Add the roux mixture, green onions, and chopped parsley to the vegetables in the skillet or Dutch oven, stirring well to combine.
7
Stir in the pre-cooked shrimp, cayenne pepper, and Cajun seasoning, mixing thoroughly.
8
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven and cook for 4-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and shrimp to warm through.
9
Uncover, garnish the shrimp etouffee with additional parsley or chopped green onions, and serve immediately over cooked white rice.
