Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 cloves - garlic chopped
- 2 stalks - celery chopped
- 2 cups - chicken or fish stock I prefer chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons - virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 sticks - Butter
- 1/4 cups - unbleached flour use your judgement for thickness; may need more
- 1 tablespoons - Tabasco hot sauce
- 1 teaspoons - Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 teaspoons - cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons - Old Bay seafood seasoning
- 1/3 teaspoons - lime black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoons - garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons - Tony Cachere seasoning
- 2 cans - diced tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoons - sugar optional for tartness
- 1 teaspoons - Himalayan pink or sea salt
- 3 stalks - green onions/scellions chopped
- 3 sprigs - parsley or cilantro chopped
- 1 pounds - shrimp
- 1 pounds - crawfish tails
- 1 - small green pepper chopped
- 2 - small tomatoes chopped
- 1 - medium onion chopped
Directions:
BEFORE STARTING, rinse and de-tail shrimp if need be, drain, put in bowl w/crawfish tails and season w/Old Bay(this is additional Old Bay not in measurements). Let sit while prepping all else until ready to add.
1 - Heat the oil and butter in a heavy skillet or dutch oven type pot over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns 'peanut butter' brown or darker, at least 15 or 20 minutes. This is your base sauce or 'Roux'. It is VERY IMPORTANT to stir this constantly. If by chance the roux burns, discard and start over.
2 - Once the roux is browned, add the onions, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the skillet/pot and saute' for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped tomatoes (both fresh and canned) and chicken or fish stock/broth, and season with the Old Bay seasoning. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes (covered), stirring occasionally.
3 - Season the sauce with Tabasco pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper and all the other seasonings listed. Stir and taste. If too tart, add the sugar to calm down. Add the seasoned shrimp and crawfish. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.
4 - Once done, stir in chopped scallions/green onions and parsley or cilantro(your choice).
5 - Serve over rice.
