[@richbennett6577]

Hey AB check out an old shotgun red recipe In which he bakes the flour to make up the dark roux. I don’t remember the video but it speeds up the cooking process. If I find it I’ll send it to you

@@petuniaazulflor7289 thanks for sharing your success story!!…. Me too, my wife now trusts my cooking after preparing a couple/few of AB’s dishes….

[@TheDmperignon]

Pro Tip: You shell the shrimp before use, of course. Put the shells in a small saucepan with whatever aromatics you like, and cook them down. Strain the broth and add it to the stew - the enhanced flavor is INCREDIBLE!

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

Enhanced Pro Tip: melt some butter in your sauce pan first, add the shells and toast them well over medium heat, mash them up a bit with a wooden spoon as best you can. Deglaze the pan with a bit of white wine if you like, or a couple teaspoons of vinegar and then water, and proceed as above...

I have to be honest, I never heard of Shrimp stew before. I happened to have all the ingredients (that never happens) so I made it tonight. I cannot wait for my husband to get home and try to this. It’s the perfect meal on this cold night! Only thing is I added some sausage and made some cornbread to go with it. GOD BLESS YOU AB! Please don’t stop the magic 💕

[@earlinewallace2150]

I would add smoke sausage also

[@valenciaamos9426]

Look at that holy trinity. The contents of that pot looks like my childhood. Waking up Sunday morning at granny’s while she’s getting the gumbo started! Beautiful.

That's the first time I got to see someone make a dark roux like that--thank you for showing us how it's done. And I see you cooking with that Holy Trinity. Looks SO good! Definitely saving this recipe to try at home.

[@purleybaker]

I hadn't either and it was really helpful. I have never cooked it beyond caramel and wouldn't have the fortitude to take it this dark without seeing someone like AB who I know can cook do it.

[@maurasmith-mitsky762]

I am with you, Sarah and Purley. . I never saw a roux get cooked so dark. I didn’t think it was possible. I think he said that you could have made it more quickly with higher heat, because we are Novice he took a long time with it. It’s just amazing. Thanks to the chef!

[@frankmosca4613]

What I found truly amazing was that just earlier today, I tried to find how to make a good roux. The 'famous food place" that I looked at said butter is "Only good for making very light roux" and to make it darker you need to use other fats or oils. :O Well, apparently, THAT isn't so!! :)

i love the Creole kick on my eggs in the morning, the other day I used it on my eggs and grits then at lunch I added it to soup then for dinner I cooked kale and used it on them.

[@joemartel1]

Although the commons know it as "holy trinity", the actual french term "mirepoix" is the correct answer. a mirepoix "is a three-vegetable mixture to be sauteed to create fragrance and layered flavor in most dishes. Most often items that are available in the regional area define the mirepoix mix. Some of the combinations other than the preferred onion bell pepper and celery, other combinations are onion, carrot, celery... onion, garlic, ginger, and more. --- Love what you do - referred a lot of fellow home chefs to your channel...

Holly Trinity

[@Cahilllynn]

My grandmother, being a devoted Catholic, said only one HOLY Trinity--The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.

[@murraylynn7631]

That looks delicious. 2 things I would do to level up. 1st I would use shrimp stock instead of chicken stock. It's easy to make if you have shrimp you need to de-shell but if you don't have shells on your shrimp, go to your local Asian or Filipino market and get some Bagoong Alamang which is dried shrimp paste. 1 tsp of that simmered in 4 litres of water for about 20 minutes makes a deliciously flavoured shrimp stock. It's a bit stinky but it is worth it. 2nd I would add a few drops of thai fish sauce. It may not be authentic to the southern US but it adds a smooth salty and savoury flavour that levels up any seafood or vegetable dish.

Hey AB, I’m definitely going to make this stew. Also, the onions, celery and bell pepper make the “trinity”, a staple in creole dishes. To make this a gumbo, I’d add more flour to the rue and add andouille sausage and some okra to thicken it up a bit. For more heat you could add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce like Crystal. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
