Recipe: Big Easy Cajun Shrimp
Similar Categories: Big, Easy, Cajun, Shrimp
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp bacon fat (or olive oil)
2 cups chopped stewed tomatoes
1/8 cup (2 Tbsp) tomato sauce
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 clove crushed garlic
1 1/2 cups hot water
1 to 2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
7 ounces frozen, peeled and deveined shrimp
METHOD:
In a large frying pan make a roux by browning flour in bacon drippings (or
olive oil) until about the color of a penny. Stir tomatoes, tomato sauce,
minced onion, green pepper, parsley, garlic, water, salt and pepper into
flour/oil mixture. Bring sauce to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cook 20 minutes.
Add shrimp to mixture and cook 10 minutes longer (If you use fresh shrimp
cook only 5 minutes).
NOTES:
At times I have substituted olive oil for the bacon fat, and because I like
things a little spicy when making for myself, I add some red pepper flakes.
Serve over rice.
Number of servings: 6
