4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons flour

1 pound shrimp shelled and deveined

1/2 lemon sliced

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup onion diced

1/2 cup celery diced

1/2 cup bell pepper diced

4 cloves garlic chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped

14 ounce can diced tomato

1 tablespoon Creole or Cajun seasoning your favorite blend and adjust to your tastes

hot sauce to taste

sea salt to taste

1/4 cup green onions sliced for garnish

tablespoon Italian parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions

Broth

Add the shrimp shells and scraps of onion and celery to a small saucepot with a little olive oil to saute and cook for a few minutes

then add the sliced lemon and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes

Strain the solids from the broth and set aside.

Etouffee

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, cook until it starts to brown sprinkle in the flour while mixing and simmer until it turns a dark brown, about 10-15 minutes.

Add the onion, celery, and peppers to the roux and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the garlic and thyme and cook for a minute.

Whisk in the broth

Add the tomatoes and seasoning, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Season with hot sauce and sea salt to taste.

Shrimp

Mix some of your seasoning (or paprika if you don't want heat) and chopped parsley with your towel-dried shrimp

Get a saute pan hot, add a little oil to the pan and add the shrimp

Saute the shrimp quickly and cook until just done so they stay moist and tender. You want to get color into the shrimp so it's okay if they seasoning burns a little.

Place white rice in center of bowl, add Etouffee around rice, place cooked shrimp on top

Garnish with parsley and green onions

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 10: Confess Him

Romans Chapter 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. The Women Worship the Risen Lord And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus
