SHRIMP ÉTOUFFÉE 2 Onions 2 Sticks of Celery 1 Green Bell Pepper 1 Red Bell Pepper 1 Bunch Green Onions 6 Cloves of Garlic 2 Sticks of Butter 1 Tablespoon Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1/4 Teaspoon of Salt 1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 1/3 Cup of Flour 2 lbs of Small Shrimp 2 Cups of Hot Water (Add more if desired) Start out by heating a Large Pot or Pan to a Low heat. Chop the Onion, Celery, Red Bell Pepper, Green Bell Pepper, Green Onions, and Garlic. Drop two Sticks of Butter into your pot and melt completely. Add the chopped vegetables to the pot and raise burner to a medium heat. Add the Cajun Seasoning, Salt, and Cayenne Pepper. Sauté for about 30 minutes. After 30 minuets of sautéing, push the vegetables to one side of the pot, add the 1/3 cup of flour and blend into the butter. Once the flour is mixed in well, stir everything altogether. Sauté for another 30-40 minutes, or until the flour becomes brown in color. Be very cautious during this time. If the heat seems a little high, lower it. You don’t want anything to burn to the bottom. Around this time you want to begin cooking some rice. When you start to see some brown color forming, begin heating 2 cups of water in the microwave. Add a little bit of the hot water to the pot. Stir, breaking up anything on the bottom, until it’s a creamy mixture. Add the rest of the hot water to the pot. Raise the heat to where you see a slight boil. Cover, and then lower to a simmering heat. Cook for 30 minutes. Be sure to come back every 5 to 10 minutes and stir, breaking up anything trying to stick to the bottom. After 30 minutes, add the shrimp to the pot, and let simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes. If you feel as though you would like a thinner gravy, just add a little more water. However, also taste it to see if you need more seasoning. Enjoy Dat!

Jason, I've been following you for years. So happy to see how far you've come. I enjoy your recipes and use them often. Your cookbook stays proudly displayed on my counter 😊

Made this for my family yesterday and they loved it! Thank you so much! ❤️

I followed this recipe tonight and used poblano pepper instead bell pepper since I'm allergic. It's so good and it doesn't taste like anything is missing. Thanks for the video!

Cooked up your shrimp etouffe tonight. Once again, your recipe was on point. Great as always.

My wife, bless her heart, is allergic to shellfish. So, in order for her to experience etouffee, I am using your recipe and substituting chicken breast. Which I cubed, seasoned and steamed before adding to the veggies. I'll let you know how it turns out. With most recipes, I have found a lot of times if shrimp is good, usually chicken is too. We will see.

Love your recipes and enthusiasm for cooking good fresh seafood. I was born in Galveston and spent lots of time in Louisiana growing up and miss my fresh seafood from the area. My only suggestion if someone wants to step this up a notch would be to make and use your own seafood stock instead of water. I have done that several times and it is amazing either way. Thanks again for the great content. Your gumbo recipe is the bomb also!!!!

Thanks for this recipe! Though I'm Cajun, I had never made an Étouffée. I'll be adding this dish to the menu of my Cajun food truck, "The Cajunator"! Unfortunately, it will be with frozen shrimp since I'm all the way in northern California! I made it tonight and it was just as I remember! So yum!

Looking good, Cajun! My family loves Shrimp Étouffée, I'm going to pass this along!

This is the first time I’ve seen the roux cooked after the mirepoix! I’m super intrigued!

An entertaining presentation; a 5 star performance! Touchè, Etufee!

Dude I just want to say I cook a lot of your recipes and they are always good. Thanks for doin what you do brotha

Made a half serving tonight. Roomies loved it. I told you once my throat recovered from my cancer treatments, I would try one of your receipts. I have not eaten much since December. Even though we are under the shelter in place because of the virus outbreak (04/2020) here in Houston, we celebrated health and your Shrimp Étouffée!! Delish!!

This looks amazing, I'll have to try it!! :-)

That's what I'm talkin about!!! Yummy, as usual. Keep the good stuff coming

Thank you VERY much for the recipe & instructions. I made this last week. It was delicious! I never thought I would be able to make roux. But with your step by step help out came out perfect! It was EVEN better the next day! Off to look for a salmon recipe on your page now 🙂

Yummy! Looks so good. I used seafood stock to add more flavor instead of water

You make it look so easy! I wanna try it!!!

I think I will try this one for Valentines for my Baby

Just made this via your new cookbook! Awesome stuff

What he says is the truth you will fall in love with it. I'm from South Texas I went to Lafayette to a music festival I had etouffee in a bread bowl and then another one and then another one lol insane good

Made this tonight, substituted shrimp stock for water. I loved it ,but more importantly my wife raved over it. Have also made your shrimp creole which is also excellent. Keep em coming

I’m a huge fan of James lee Burke’s robicheaux books. He always eats etouffee and po’boy sandwiches. Sounds and looks delicious , I’ll have to try this ☺️

Looks really good i got to try in make dis

First time was a hit so now I’m doubling it this time! Thanks 😊

I just got through cooking a shrimp etouffee ( can't afford crawfish here in Colorado but from Avoyelles parish, where I'd catch my own) and your recipe is by far the best etouffee I've ever cooked. Keep on keeping on man!

I just made this tonight and this tonight and it is BAD TO THE BONE awesome

Sir! Your recipes are absolutely the truth!! My picky eater teen literally said I've never even heard of that! I'm eating as I type this! We love all of your recipes. My first time ever making gumbo from scratch was your chicken and sausage gumbo recipe. Love your cajun stewed chicken! You're about to make a bunch of mini cajun ninjas 😂😂piyaaaahhh!!

This is SO GOOD! I'm making it for my son's 21st birthday today at his request.

Making this right now!

I’m making this today! Off to the store for a few ingredients.

Looks bomb!!!

I just followed this to the tee… my wife and daughter loves me!!! 😂😂🤙🏽

I just found out about a dish from watching Emeril called maque choux,. I would love to see your version!

Man let me tell y’all I made this tonight for my family and it was bangin SO GOOD followed the. Cajun ninja recipe and it was so good and satisfying to belly I totally recommend this if you don’t eat crawfish

Love that intro song , I'm gonna choose to use your channel to learn what I don't already know 😉

I am a pure Louisiana dal love your recipes

Thanks. Just made your recipe with a few other seafoods in addition to the shrimp.

Whew I made this tonight and geez the flavor was just as you described it. Omg crazy good. Thanks for another great recipe. It's a lot of chopping but we'll worth it.

What size Dutch oven do you have? Also love the content and have for many many years. Keep'em coming 😋

I'm making this soon as I get home 😋

I need a Le Creuset cookware set too! Lol

That really looks freaking amazing!

Just a tip, if you boil the shrimp shells they make a great stock to substitute for the water. OH SOOO GOOD...

just subscribed to your channel, from South MS living in VA haven't had any good Etouffee in a few years bout to finish it up, looks damn good so far!!!! respect!

That shrimp Étouffée looks so very tasty.😋💖

This will be the 15 recipe I try because of you😃thanks brother ...hiyah.....nice beard too

Throwing this on some fried green maters tonight my brother. Thanks

@ thecajunninja, if you were to 10x this recipe while cooking for a group up north, would you change anything?

What about adding sausage with it. Think I'll try that next time. We love your recipes and cooking videos. Keep them coming. Thank you so much.

Delicious!

There go my boyyy 💪🏽💪🏽💯🏆

I made your recipe last night, and it was delicious. I do however think 2 sticks of was a bit much, so I cut it down to 1-1/2 sticks.

Great job

Oh yes ,I can smell it and taste it in my mind .damn it looks so good .Thanks ..And I will make this for my girls ..

Ninja, nice looking Shrimp Étouffée recipe!

Another good one, brother!...I think you should do a video on your workout routine to show us how you keep your physique while pounding all those Cajun carbs!

My mother would add a can of rotel tomatoes in the mix right before the shrimp.

Making your chili right now.

What can I do. To stop the season from getting hard like a rock in your container?

Do you have a cookbook

If I wanted to add sausage to this, what would be the best method?

Every time I make this dish I watch the video lol

I can't eat crawfish, so I am going to try this.

What kind if dutch oven/pot are you using?????

One of my favorites. I’m making it tomorrow, except I’m not putting it on rice - I’m going to stuff some pistolettes, me 😋

Hey, I did a first-time-making shrimp etouffee video using your recipe video, hope I did it right, and want to say thank you.

Him look good. 🤤

I'm going to make this tomorrow yum me babee

Can you use white onion?

Slightly crazy question, can i do cajun chicken instead of the shrimp?

Hey Ninja, do you have any Cajun crockpot magic for us???

What’s the difference of making the Roux at the beginning than while cooking the vegetables?

I wish more people down in Dulac would watch these videos and learn how to cook! LOL

Can I use shrimp stock instead of just water?

Yes Sir!!!!

What is the name of the song in the intro! I love it!

Stupid Question. Is it best to do the roux first then saute your veggies, or saute the veggies then do your roux? I have done both, and not sure if there is a difference.

Jason - I’m attempting this one today. My shrimp are larger than yours. Could I use 2 cups of stock from their shells instead of microwaved water? Or should I leave your recipe as is? Rookie question I know but TIA 🍻

Love this @Cajun ninja piyaaaa this is awesome shared how are you 💜💜

Gonna tear that up this lent.

What parish you live in? I’m in Livingston.

I'm from southwest Louisiana and idk if he's really a cajun. Has a hint of my accent so maybe. I make mine almost exactly like this! It's true. It's delicious!

Looks good! I think you should do Shrimp or Crawfish Pistolette request :)

Make some homemade pepper jack boudin balls!

What’s the difference between this method and doing a Roux then adding the veggies? Just keeping the color lighter?
