Etouffe:
1. In a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan combine melted butter, oil, and flour until smooth.
2. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously, for about 10-12 minutes, until you have reached the desired color.
3. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and celery and cook for 8-10 minutes - stirring frequently
4. Add garlic, thyme, and bay leaf- continue stirring for about 2 minutes
5. Throw in the tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, paprika, and creole seasoning and let it cook for 5 minutes
6. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the shrimp stock, bring to a boil and let it simmer. Add the shrimp, simmer for 5 more minutes. You may also season the shrimp with creole seasoning and saute it for about 5 minutes instead of boiling it in the pot.
7. Adjust the thickness/flavor of the soup with more broth or water, hot sauce, and salt.
8. Serve over hot cooked rice!
