Dice the onion, celery stalks, green pepper, and garlic small.
Melt the butter, add the flour, and cook for 7 minutes into a light brown roux.
Add the onion, celery stalks, and green pepper and soften for 6 minutes.
Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken stock, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then cook the sauce for 14 minutes.
Add the shrimp and cook for 5 minutes, until pink.
Serve the etouffee with rice and scallions.
💡 Tip: Add the shrimp in the final minutes; if they cook too long, they toughen even if the sauce is good.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spoon etouffee over plain rice and serve with scallions and optional lemon wedges.
