Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 8 ounces andouille sausage (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
- 2 stalks celery (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 servings cooked white rice or French bread (for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir well to coat the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, making sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let cook for 5 minutes, until thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Mix well and let simmer on low heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are pink and fully cooked.
Return the cooked andouille sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Let everything simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the Shrimp Toulouse hot over cooked white rice or alongside slices of French bread. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
