SHRIMP STEW 2 (lbs) Fresh Raw Shrimp (With Shells optional) 6 Cups of Water 2 Onions 1 Green Bell Pepper 2 sticks of celery 1 Bunch of Green Onions 4 Cloves of Garlic 1 Bay Leaf 1 Handful of Fresh Parsley 1 Tablespoon of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 2 Teaspoons of Salt 1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder 1 Teaspoon of Black Pepper 2/3 Cup of Oil 1 Cup All Purpose flour Rice Boiled Eggs (optional) Prep the raw shrimp by peeling and deveining them. Save the excess shells. Season the shrimp evenly with 1/2 Tablespoon of cajun seasoning, cover, and move to the fridge. Heat a large pot on a Med/Low heat. Also heat up the 6 cups of water on a Med/Low heat. Cut the ends of the Onion, Celery, Green Onion, and add to the pot of water. Add the shrimp shells and bay leaf to the pot of water. If you do not have any shrimp shells, you can move a head with just the vegetables. Add 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, 1 Teaspoon of Salt, 1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder, and 1 Teaspoon of Black Pepper to the pot. Raise the heat to bring to a boil. Once the pot has reached a boil, cover, lower to simmer, and cook for at least 1 hour. Chop the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, and move to the fridge. Add the 2/3 cup of oil and 1 cup of flour to your large pot and stir immediately. Maintain a slow stir for and hour or more, until you reach a chocolate color roux. After the stock has been simmering for an hour, strain into a sifter over a large bowl. Be sure to not let your roux sit too long unattended. Cover the stock with some foil and let sit until needed. Once the roux has reached a chocolate color, add the chopped vegetables to the roux and sauté for roughly 10-15 minuets. Be cautious of the heat. Lower if necessary. After 10-15 minuets, you’re going to add 5 cups of the stock to the roux/vegetables. Add a small amount of at first, blend into a creamy mixture, then add the rest. Add 1 Teaspoon of Salt. Set the pot to a low heat, chop the parsley, then add to the pot. Bring to a slight boil, cover, and let cook for two hours, stirring every 15 minuets. After about an hour, feel free to get started on cooking some rice. (Also boil eggs if you like them in there.) When there is about 20 minutes left on the 2 hour simmer, add the boiled eggs. If you find it’s too thick, you can add a little water, or stock if you have some. If it’s too thin, leave the cover off and water will evaporate. When the two hours is up, add the 2 lbs of raw shrimp. Raise the fire to a slight boil, cover, then lower to simmer. Cook for 15 minuets. Enjoy!

I strongly suggest not using the shrimp heads. Made the stock way too fishy and strong. Had to cut it with water after to calm it down.

Trea Coffill you must have just had shrimp that wasn’t very fresh. Mine never comes out that way.

I can't wait for the written recipe on this one. The wifey is a fanatic for anything shrimp and as you know happy wife happy life.

I’m from Lafayette, LA. I love watching your videos. My mom died when I was in my early twenties. Before I truly got some recipes passed down from her. I feel like watching your videos reminds me of her cooking! Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤️

Awesome! When I was a little girl, Creole family across the street had 4 generations living in the household. The great grandmother cooked seafood stews with whole boiled eggs in the sause. She also cooked an oyster stew with whole boiled eggs. This is very African.

I’m trying this tonight! I watch a lot of your recipes and love them. I’m originally from California but I currently live in Louisiana. So I love to try southern meals. Especially because my fiancé and children..

I just finished the part of adding the veggies, and omg its coming out so good! Can't wait to eat! Thank u for taking your time to show us the true Cajun way of cooking this meal.

I made this for my family tonight! My kids came in from college and loved it! Thank you!

Mr Cajun Ninja your cooking is absolutely inspiring. I’ve tried some of your recipes and they are delicious. Thank you very much!!!!!

I mean your recipes NEVER let me down! I so love your channel!!

I’m so excited to try this recipe! I’ve been wanting to try a Cajun shrimp stew for ages and this looks so perfect!

One of my favorites! Think I will make it tomorrow!

Look delicious 🤤 I gotta make me some of that soon, it’s been years since I’ve had a shrimp stew, that’s a great idea to use the pealings for a stock 👍🏼

Some good eatin right there!! I also add just a little Crab Boil to the stock water while boiling...makes it GOOOD!!

That looks soooooooo good, cant wait to try the recipe. Thanks for sharing ❤

Oh my goodness...looks delicious!..Thanks for the video!❤️

This looks so delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Most good cooks “ clean as you go “ lol saves a lot of time in between doing different things but this honestly looks delicious great job 👏🏿

A pleasure to watch Ninja. And a beautiful stew.

Literally 10 minutes away from it being finished!!! I've followed you so long and I'm glad I was about to make it!!! Keep it going!!

OMG..... yummy.... I don't think I have had shrimp stew since my Dad passed away. That's been nearly 25 years ago now. We always ate our Shrimp Stew over mashed potatoes instead of rice (of course, we had rice almost every other night). and my Dad always made Lima Beans in a roux and that's what we had for our side dish. I have some shrimp in the freezer, I think I know what I'll be making very soon! Thanks for the reminder of how fantastic of a dish this is!

Made your Shrimp stew and it was delicious! Made homemade garlic bread to go with! The wife was very pleased...

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your video with us. God bless from west Texas

Looks Delicious yummy yum

Just had some at Poche’s in Breaux Bridge Wednesday. Man I was instantly hooked. Gonna make this soon.

I got to try this.... looks so good

Somehow you read my mind and knew i wanted to make some shrimp stew tonight as well!!! I admire that great minds think alike or in this case cook alike because my recipe is dang near the same as yours only difference is yours is simmered a lot longer than mine. I love also how you took the ends of the vegetables to add to the stock making it super rich! Gonna be trying that myself that in a bit!!! Hope you don't stop with all your awesome content partna! C'est bon!

Looks amazing

Beautiful stock Ninja!

Looks so delicious!!!!!! Thanks so much for using blk pepper. I grew up watching Justin Wilson on Mississippi public broadcasting. He didn't use blk pepper in his recipes, claimed it was made from trees. Guess I love eating trees, ha. NEVER throw out ur protein (beef, chicken, pork, shrimp) trimmings/shells, or vegetable ends/peelings. They make wonderful stock! Just freeze protein until needed, the veggies can sit in the fridge for a week until u decide to make stock. Add water, protein, seasonings, veggies an simmer for a couple hrs. So super easy, no need to buy stock ever again.

Looks great!

Cooking tonight looks. Delicious 😋

Your awesome I love Cajun Food

Looked Delicious yes I going add vegetables without the eggs.

Great video I'm making this one today it looks soooooooo good thanks 😋😋😋

Micheline Lamboley lol I was kicking myself, but I was glad I at least remember to add it in while I was filming.

Looks yummy! Been adding eggs to my seafood gumbos and shrimp stews for years. I actually crack the eggs raw in stew and let them soak up yummy flavor as they harden. Just don't stir for :15 minutes if you try this.

Leana Blaze hi Leana, I'm from Abbeville but live in North Jersey. You can probably find fresh shrimp and blue crabs in China Town or even Flushing, depending where in NY you live.

Juicy booty Judy😂😂😂yes lord...😂😂

You read my mind / taste buds. LOL

Why I thought you was an old school black man cooking until I saw you lol but boy does that look good definitely going to be trying this out soon great job ❤

I also make stock with the heads/peels. Also great if you crack the eggs and poach em in the gravy but only if everyone like the eggs

I like to add a lil bit of crab boil like a quarter of a teaspoon gives it a little bit more flavor but that is man I have these down packed I’m from Morgan city but I still watch your videos 5 outta 10 times that I cook could be chicken stew whatever but thanks man your helping a lot of people out

Pi-Yah, you go boi... BTW, nice pots sir...

I love the stock idea. Also Want to scrape the sides of that pot so bad tho 😂
