Etouffee Ingredients
Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 cups onions, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 10 ounces tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons creole seasoning
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, deveined and diced
  • 2 pounds house-made andouille sausage, sliced into ⅛-inch rounds
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup green onion top, thinly sliced for top garnish
Instructions
  1. Using a large stock pot over medium heat, fully melt butter and add flour to pot and stir continuously to make a roux.
  2. Stir the roux over medium heat until light brown in color (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add chopped onions, peppers, celery and garlic to roux, stirring often.
  4. Add tomato paste into pot and season with bay leaves, salt and 1 tablespoon of creole seasoning.
  5. Cook tomato paste for 2 to 3 minutes and then add both stocks.
  6. Whisk briskly to incorporate the stock into the roux, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Reduce to a simmer.
  8. Continue to cook the etouffée, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes. Be sure not to allow the bottom to stick to the pot.
  9. Slice Andouille sausage into ⅛-inch rounds and add to pot.
  10. Peel and devein the shrimp. Remove tails and chop.
  11. Season the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon of creole seasoning and add to the pot, stirring evenly to distribute shrimp.
  12. Cook the shrimp for 5 to 7 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through.
  13. Add chopped parsley and stir to combine.
  14. Using your cheese pizza as a base, place one 2-ounce scoop of dirty rice (see separate recipe) at the center of each pizza slice and then ladle on approximately 1 to 2 ounces of the etouffée sauce on top of the dirty rice.
  15. Garnish each pizza slice with sliced green onion tops.
