How to Make Shrimp Crab Etouffee

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  2. Add chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes and shrimp stock (or chicken broth). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Gently stir in shrimp and crab meat. Cook until shrimp is pink and opaque and crab is heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy!
