This dish is loaded with flavor. Hearty, healthy, and filling. It may seem like a lot of work but it's not! Once the roux is made it just simmers and does its thing while you can enjoy a glass of wine. 😊

Steps

40 mins

1

Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and cajun seasoning.
2

Heat butter in skillet until slightly bubbly. Add the onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook until onions are translucent.
3

Whisk in the flour and stir in for about 3-5 minutes to make a blond roux.
4

Add in a small amount of vegetable stock and stir in to make a thick paste. Gradually add the remaining stock in small portions and stir continuously to ensure no clumps. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. You may need to add a bit more vegetable stock, you want the end result to be similar to a thick gravy.
5

Add the tomatoes, kidney beans, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cover partially and let simmer for about 20 minutes.
6

Add in the shrimp and green onions and cook another 10 minutes or until cooked through.
7

Adjust seasoning to taste and serve with rice.
