INGREDIENTS FOR SHRIMP

1 1/2 lb of shrimp

Shells on or off...your choice

toss with cayenne powder, garlic salt, onion powder, cajun seasoning to taste

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

1. Pour the Rouxe into the large skillet and return to low heat.

2. Mix everything together so the Rouxe and the veggies and spices and pork are covered and combined.

3. Add the thawed shrimp

4. Add 2-3 cups of chicken stock

5. Add 1/2 cup of red wine

6. Gradually stir on low heat ensuring everything combines together. The shrimp cooks quick, so after about 5 mins check. Don't overcook the shrimp and the length of time depends on how low and long you simmer the entire mixture.
