Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups seafood stock (or chicken stock)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 4 servings cooked white rice or pasta (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.

Step 3

Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the center. Once melted, sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir continuously to create a roux. Cook for 2 minutes until the roux becomes lightly golden.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the seafood stock while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and optional hot sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the parsley and half of the green onions.

Step 8

Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked white rice or pasta. Garnish with the remaining green onions for a fresh finish.
