Ingredients:
- chopped garlic - to taste
- large can diced tomatoes
- small can tomato sauce
- spices to taste - salt , black pepper , red pepper, parsley , basil , thyme , mace , allspice , bay leaves , hot sauce
Directions:
- Make a roux from 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup flour in a large pot. Sitr CONSTANTLY over medium to low heat until the color is a light caramel, just a bit lighter than peanut butter. It you do not stir it constantly, it will burn and you'll have to start over!
- To the roux, add the following chopped vegetables: onion, celery, green pepper, green onion and cook until the vegetables soften a bit - but not until they are mushy! Add chopped garlic to taste. Stir. Stir. Stir. Add one large can of diced tomatoes with juice and one small can of tomato sauce.
- Keep cooking mixture over low heat, keep stirring often. If it seems too thick, you will probably need to add some water - maybe a cup or two at this point. Use your judgement regarding the consistency and thickness. Add seasonings: black pepper (lots), red (cayenne) pepper (as much as you want or can stand), mace (1/2 tsp), allspice (1 tsp), hotsauce (Tabasco), salt (1/4 tsp), parsley (3 TBS), some basil, thyme and mace (maybe 1/2 tsp each), whole bay leaves (2 or 3). (I use dry spices, not fresh.) Use what tastes good to you.
- Keep cooking mixture over low heat - letting it simmer - and stirring often.
- When you're ready to serve it, add the juice of one half a lemon. Crank up the heat to medium and add one pound of fresh, peeled shrimp. Stir. When the shrimp turn pink and get firm, it's ready.
- Serve over hot, cooked, white rice.
