The ingredients for Shrimp Etoufee are:

4 Tablespoons butter, divided
2 Tablespoons flour
1 Cup chicken broth
3/4 Tablespoon Onion Powder (Use onion powder NOT salt!)
1/4 Tablespoon Garlic Powder (Use garlic powder NOT salt!)
2 Teaspoons thyme leaves, crushed (more or less to taste)
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste (I use at least 1/2 Teaspoon)
1/4 Teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste (I use at least 1/2 Teaspoon)
1 Cup sliced celery
1 Cup chopped, sweet red bell pepper
1 Pound large shrimp, cleaned and deveined

Here is how you make Shrimp Etoufee:

In a small saucepan melt 2 Tablespoons butter until hot. Stir in flour; using a wire whisk, cook, whisking until mixture (roux) turns golden brown. Remove from heat; stir to cool slightly. Gradually stir in chicken broth. Set aside.Combine onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, cayenne, and black peppers. Set aside.In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 Tablespoon of butter until hot. Add sliced celery and chopped pepper; cook, stirring occasionally until crisp tender, about 5 minutes.Add shrimp, cook, stirring occasionally until shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes (or if using frozen shrimp, until heated through). Sprinkle reserved seasoning mixture, stirring to coat. Add reserved broth mixture; cook and stir until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Serve over steamed rice, if desired.Yield: 4 portions.NOTES:Again, use onion, garlic powder NOT salt.This recipe is easily increased. I often increase everything by 1&1/2 and double the shrimp.The sweet red bell pepper can be replaced by any type of combination of sweet peppers desired. I usually use some red, yellow and orange.The celery and peppers can be sliced/chopped, the seasoning mixture and broth mixture can be made, and the shrimp can be cleaned ahead of time. The actual cooking goes very quickly.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SCHULDIG09.
