I cut up 3 medium onions and 1 bell pepper and browned it down in some of the oil that I came off the top of the roux jar. Browned them for about 30-40 minutes till they got to be a nice almost peanut butter color. Next I added 3 big servin spoons of roux. Let it cook down and then I add water just enough to get the roux/onions nice and thick. Then I add my shrimp, the shrimp give off a lot of water so I do t add more till they cook down a little.
How does she make her roux? How much does she make and does it stay good for a while?
