I love eating this over rice or mashed potatoes. Even pasta would make for a deliciously effective delivery system! Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter |
6 ounces smoked ham, diced |
1 red bell pepper, finely diced |
1/2 cup finely diced celery |
4 green onions, chopped, white and green parts separated |
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, finely diced |
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional) |
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning |
3 tablespoons flour |
3 1/2 cups cold chicken broth |
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 pound small raw shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1 pinch salt, or to taste |
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Melt butter over medium heat in a deep frying pan. Stir in diced ham and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in red bell pepper, celery, white portions of green onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Cajun seasoning and cook for 1 minute.
3. Stir in flour; cook and stir until flour is no longer gritty, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce; increase heat to medium-high. Simmer until vegetables are soft and liquid is reduced and thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
4. Stir in shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Garnish with green parts of green onions.
