Cast Iron Cajun

Ingredients:

•  2 cups chopped trinity (onions ,green bell, celery)

• ¼ cup flour

• ½ stick of unsalted butter

• 2lbs – Medium Shrimp – peeled and deveined

• 1lb of TEETS Smoked Tasso – Finely chopped.

• 6 cups of chicken broth –

• 2 cups Heavy Cream

• 2 cans of cream style corn

• 2 cans of whole corn

• 1 Bay leaf

• Fresh Thyme

Directions:

In a large heavy bottom pot ( I use enamel coated cast iron) over medium high heat sauté diced Tasso for 5 minutes. Remove Tasso and set aside.

Add butter & trinity, sauté for 10 minutes or until veggies are soft and transparent. Add flour to veggies and stir for 1-2 minutes until combined. Do not brown flour. Slowly add in broth so flour mixture doesn’t clump, whisk well to insure flour is blended. Reduce heat to medium let broth return to a slow simmer for about 5 minutes.

At this time season liquid with your favorite seasoning blend to desired taste. Add Thyme, bay leaf, Tasso and corn. Return to simmer for another 5 minutes. Add cream and shrimp, return to simmer, cover and cook for 30- 45 minutes on medium low stirring frequently so it doesn’t stick. You can also re-season to taste at this point. Enjoy!
