Shrimp Etouffee

The E! Oscar pre-show was so painful. Like, how did Khloe Kardashian get past security? She is woefully under-qualified to even be in attendance.

To exacerbate the obvious problems, they give her a microphone. She immediately bashed Anna Kendrick’s dress & I immediately had steam coming out of my ears. You don’t bash Anna Kendrick, Khloe, Anna Kendrick bashes you. GOODBYE!

I am convinced my friends & I would be a far more entertaining panel. Phrases we’d overuse to describe outfits & stars: DEAD, DYING, I CAN’T, IS THIS REAL LIFE, CAN’T BREATH, ON THE FLOOR, KILL ME.

(look at my mess)

We would just be so positive & uplifting about everyone. We’d also be funnier & more articulate than the babbling fools they currently have.

Call us, E! We’re cute & will work for cheap. Also, I’ll feed you this.

Time: 1 hour | Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

1 lb. of shrimp, peeled + deveined + tails off
6 tbsp. of butter + 2 more
3 tbsp. of flour
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
6 celery stalks, chopped
2 tbsp. of garlic, minced
2 cups of vegetable broth
1 can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
2 tbsp. of Worcestershire
1 tbsp. of hot sauce
1 tbsp. of creole seasoning
1/2 tsp. of rosemary
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Italian parsley, serving
S+P, to taste
Brown rice, for serving

How to:

Heat the 6 tbsp. of butter in a large skillet over medium heat
Whisk in flour to create a roux
Add onion + red pepper + celery + S+P, cook for 6-8 minutes
Add garlic, cook another minute
Add broth + tomatoes + Worcestershire + hot sauce + creole seasoning + rosemary, bring to a simmer + cook for 10-12 minutes
Add shrimp + cook until pink, about 5 minutes
Stir in lemon juice + the rest of the butter + S+P
Serve with brown rice + sprinkle with parsley
Set a timer + see how long it takes for you to devour all

Lol @ “GOODBYE!’
I inherently know there was some hand motion going on as you said this.
I didn’t watch any of it. I was so bored with the Oscars (AND Grammys) last year that by the time I realized it was on, Family Guy was also on and the decision of which to watch became immediately obvious.
This Etouffee is bomb though.
Don’t forget that word in your E! reviews 🙂

This year was a snooze fest, too. Neil Patrick Harris was like 8 beats behind all night. Lady Gaga was the best part of the evening & I never thought those words would come out of my mouth….

  I just sorta widened my mouth like I tasted something bitter and then violently shook my head when you said Gaga was the best part of the OSCARS!!
