Shrimp Étouffée

A classic Cajun dish of plump shrimp 'smothered' in a rich, velvety sauce built on a butter roux cooked to the color of peanut butter, with the holy trinity of onion, bell pepper and celery, garlic, tomatoes and Cajun spice. Finished with green onions, parsley and a squeeze of lemon and spooned over white rice.
