Ingredients

For the stew

Instructions

  1. Create the Roux: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Gradually add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light brown color. This will be the base for your stew!

🥄 The roux forms the backbone of many delicious dishes. Be patient—it should look like caramelized sugar without burning!

  1. Sauté the Onions: Add the finely chopped onions to the roux and sauté until they become golden and fragrant. This step adds a sweet and savory depth to your stew.

  2. Add the Shrimp: Stir in the peeled shrimp and combine well, allowing them to cook slightly. Their natural sweetness will start to contribute to the flavor.

  3. Incorporate the Veggies: Let the mix cool slightly before adding the diced tomatoes, water, green pepper, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, garlic salt, and seasoning. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  4. Bring to Life: Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The shrimp will cook through, and the flavors will meld beautifully.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once ready, remove the bay leaf and serve the stew hot over fluffy rice for a filling meal.

🍽️ Feel free to garnish with extra parsley for a burst of freshness!
