Quick and easy shrimp or fish stew

[keakar]

now this is something I make for people who don't like pepper so most of you will find the need to add the right amount of pepper for your own taste but around here I have to make food that doesn't taste pepper at all so keep that in mind. its mainly a recipe I use with redfish but anything will do so crab meat is great if you got it.

here it is:





Shrimp or fish Stew


4 lbs of shrimp or fish or mix of both cut into bite sized bits
3 large yellow onions (chopped fine)
2 large bell pepper (chopped fine)
3 heaping tablespoons minced garlic (2-3 regular cloves)
5 cups water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup veggie oil
2 large (15oz) can diced or chopped tomatoes (plus liquids)
1 small can tomato paste
2 large (15oz) can sweet corn (without liquids)
1 teaspoon each (black pepper, oregano, thyme, rosemary)
2 teaspoons parsley
3 teaspoons salt

Directions:

1. In a large, heavy pot like a 5 quart Dutch oven, add 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup veggie oil to make a roux then add in the onions, garlic, green pepper, tomato paste, and water, then cook until onions start to clear.

2. Add the tomatoes and corn and simmer for 10-15 minutes on medium low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

3. Add in the meat and simmer for another 5 minutes or until it is fully cooked and your done.

its best to let cool a while before adding salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy
