Easy Cajun Shrimp Stew Recipe

This savory Cajun dish is a hearty stew that's filling and easy to make. The potatoes are added to stretch the meal and the egg is great when it absorbs that shrimp flavor. This dish has been around for decades, it doesn't get the attention of other Cajun dishes but ask any Cajun about it and they'll tell you it's as common as gumbo in most of South Louisiana.
Shrimp Stew Recipe
· 1 lb of deveined shrimp
· 1 medium onion finely diced
· ½ medium green bell pepper diced
· 1 stalk of celery diced
· 2 medium potatoes cut into ½” pieces
· 4 eggs boiled and peeled
· 2 TBS of olive oil to saute vegetables
· 1 heaping tablespoon of tomato paste
· 1 pint of shrimp stock
· 6 cups of water
· 1/3 cup of Savoie’s roux
· 1 1/2 TBS of your favorite Cajun seasoning, I used Tony’s.
1. Saute the onions, celery and bell peppers, continue cooking till soft then add the roux and tomato paste, cook over medium low heat so you don’t burn the roux. Cook the roux for a few minutes to let it heat and loosen up.
2. Add the shrimp stock and stir to dissolve the roux, add 2 cups of water and let simmer on high for 5 minutes.
3. Add the seasoning and 2 more cups of water, cook on a high simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the potatoes and eggs, cook for 10 minutes then add 2 cups of water and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust the seasoning, add the shrimp and cook for 10 minutes. It’s ready to eat when the potatoes are soft and the shrimp is cooked through.
6. Serve over rice, Bon Appetite!!

That looks absolutely amazing! Lots of good knowledge and skills you are sharing. Thanks. 🌲🦌🌲

[@noncched6839]

You ever use that tomato paste in a tube? Pretty good stuff and you can use just a little bit. I made this Friday night, added some crawfish to it. I dont boil my eggs first, right after I add my shrimp give it a good stir, drop in the eggs and cook it about 8-10 minutes.

[@PrimalCajun]

I haven't tried the tube paste yet but will!!! I would also drop whole eggs in to boil but some of the family thinks it gross because of where it came from and chickens laying eggs in a crap filled nest. :)
