The spirit of New Orleans comes to life with this 15-minute shrimp étouffée recipe. Roughly translated as “smothered,” étouffée is a flavorful Cajun and Creole dish often served with shellfish and rice. Start by sautéing bell peppers and onions in melted butter. A savory roux seasoned with oregano, thyme and crushed red pepper is then blended with chicken broth and tomato paste for a rich flavor and texture. Finish by tossing in the shrimp and simmering to a velvety consistency. Make it a complete meal and serve the shrimp étouffée with Fried Green Tomatoes and Braised Collard Greens.
