Made with the Trinity Roux base for authentic taste and texture, this keto, Paleo, and gluten free shrimp etouffee recipe is down-home comfort food at its finest.
Season the shrimp with the lemon zest, fresh parsley ribbons, paprika, and onion powder. Set aside.
Prepare the Trinity Roux in an enameled cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat. If you're using frozen shrimp, use the shrimp liquor that comes out of the shrimp to prepare the roux. For 2 pounds of shrimp, you should have about ¾ cup of shrimp liquor that melts in the bag along with the shrimp as it thaws. If you do not have shrimp liquor, substitute gluten free chicken broth throughout the roux-making process.
Once the Trinity Roux is ready, turn the heat down to medium-low. Then add the remaining ingredients, except for the shrimp to the pot.
Cook for 20 minutes, stirring often.
Add the shrimp to the pot.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
