CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP ETOUFFEE

Chef John's Shrimp Etouffee image

We're going to use this spicy and delicious New Orleans classic to demonstrate that it is possible to get good results from using waterlogged frozen shrimp, which unfortunately is sometimes the only option. To make them work we've got to use a few tricks. I prefer this with little chunks of browned chicken or pork, actually.

Ingredients

¾ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon white pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup diced onion
⅓ cup diced green bell pepper
⅓ cup thinly sliced celery
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup diced tomatoes
1 ¾ cups chicken stock, or as needed
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce, or more to taste
salt to taste
¼ cup sliced green onions
2 cups cooked rice, or to taste

Steps:

Whisk paprika, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
Drain shrimp in a colander for at least 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl lined with paper towels and dry shrimp for about 3 minutes. Remove paper towels from bowl and season shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon spice blend. Toss to coat shrimp with spice blend.
Heat vegetable oil a large heavy skillet over high heat until oil is smoking hot. Cook shrimp in the hot oil without stirring for 1 minute; stir, and cook 1 minute more.
Transfer shrimp to a large bowl. Let stand until juice forms in bowl. Strain shrimp juices into chicken stock to total 2 cups, adding more chicken stock if necessary.
Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to turn tan at the edges. Saute onion, celery, and green pepper in hot butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in remaining spice blend.
Sprinkle flour into vegetable mixture and saute until combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until tomato juices begin to brown on bottom of pan, about 3 minutes. Whisk stock into vegetable mixture, stirring until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened and reduced to a gravy consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Season with salt to taste.
Stir shrimp into etouffee sauce; let simmer until shrimp are cooked all the way through and no longer translucent, about 1 minute.
Garnish with green onions and a dusting of cayenne pepper. Pour over rice in large, shallow bowls.

Tips:

Choose the Right Cut of Pork: Select a pork shoulder or pork butt for pulled pork; these cuts have enough fat to stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
Season Generously: Use a combination of spices and herbs to create a flavorful rub for the pork; common choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
Cook Low and Slow: The key to tender pulled pork is cooking it low and slow, either in a slow cooker or oven; this allows the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become fall-apart tender.
Shred Carefully: When the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces, ensuring it retains its juiciness and texture.
Make a Flavorful Etouffee Base: The etouffee base is crucial; use a combination of butter, flour, and Cajun/Creole seasoning to create a rich and flavorful roux.
Simmer the Etouffee: Once the roux is made, add broth or stock and simmer the etouffee until it thickens; this allows the flavors to develop and meld together.
Add Seafood and Vegetables: Shrimp, mushrooms, and bell peppers are common additions to shrimp and mushroom etouffee; sauté them until tender before adding them to the etouffee.
Serve with Rice: Traditionally, etouffee is served over rice, which soaks up the flavorful sauce and provides a base for the dish.

Conclusion:

This recipe for pulled pork, shrimp, and mushroom etouffee combines the smoky, tender flavors of pulled pork with the bold, spicy flavors of a classic etouffee. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy family meal. Serve it over rice with a side of cornbread or coleslaw for a complete and delicious meal.
