Steps to make Shrimp Etoufee:

1. Remove heads from prawns.
2. Add top of green pepper, peppercorns, 1 celery stalk chopped, 3 bay leaves, fat garlic clove chopped, half an onion chopped to a pot with the prawn heads and shells.
3. Cover with water and simmer for 45 minutes. Strain through a sieve.
4. Set aside 1 heaped tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.
5. Dry prawns with paper towels. Put them on a plate and cover with remaining Cajun seasoning and half a teaspoon of salt.
6. Heat a tablespoon butter in a cast iron pan on a medium heat.
7. Cook shrimp in the hot butter without stirring for 1 minute; stir, and cook 1 minute more.
8. Transfer to a bowl (they should still be somewhat raw)
9. Heat the oil in the cast iron pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, making sure there are no clumps. Let this cook, stirring often, until it turns a very deep brown; this should take about 15 minutes or so.
10. Add the celery, green pepper, and onion, mix well and cook this over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes
11. Add the shrimp stock slowly. The roux will absorb the stock and seize up at first, then it will loosen. Add additional stock as needed to make a sauce about the thickness of gravy.
12. Add the Cajun seasoning and paprika and mix well. Simmer for 30 minutes or so with a lid on (or off if you’d like a thicker consistency)
13. Increase the temperature and add salt to taste, then mix in the shrimp. Cover the pot, turn the heat to its lowest setting and cook for 5 minutes.
14. Serve with steamed rice, Tabasco and green onions.
