Make a day ahead; better the 2nd day.
Ingredients:
2 pounds large shrimp
3 T oil
3 T flour
1 lb Andouille Sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 green pepper, chopped
1 T garlic, minced
16 oz, Chicken Broth
1 can, Rotel tomatoes with chilies
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 t Cayenne pepper
Fluffy Rice [w/16oz chicken stock]
Procedures:
Cut the shrimp into bite sized pieces.
Poach the sausage, remove from casings, crumble and saute.
Stir together oil and flour over medium heat, stirring constantly, 12-15 minutes until the roux is caramel-colored.
Add onion, celery, and bell pepper and sauté 7 minutes or until veggies are tender.
Stir in chicken broth, Rotel tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and Cayenne pepper;
This is a good place to hold, if necessary.
Add the sausage and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the Fluffy Rice.
Add the shrimp, cover and cook until shrimp are pink.
Serve over the rice.
