Being of Cajun decent, we grew up eating Shrimp Stew. It was a hearty, cheap meal (hard to believe). I remember sitting with my siblings and mother, cleaning the shrimp. As the oldest of 8 children, we had a lot of helping hands, but a lot of mouths to feed. Shrimp Stew goes a long way but it is oh so yummy!

How To Make shrimp stew

Step 1

In a dutch oven or deep skillet, saute onions and bell peppers until clear. Add water and bring to a boil. Spoon in roux. Dissolve the roux and add more water until it is the right consistency for you. It should be a little thick.

Step 2

Season shrimp with salt and pepper, rubbing until mixed well. Add shrimp to gravy and simmer on low until the shrimp are tender, approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
Step 3

Serve over rice.
