  2. Cook the Tony’s Butter & Herb Rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  3. In a large pan, heat a touch of butter over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Season with Tony’s, smoked paprika, cayenne, and dried oregano, and sauté for about 10-15 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the Tony’s Étouffée Mix and cook for about 2 minutes to toast the mix and develop flavor.
  6. Slowly whisk in 3-4 cups of homemade seafood stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Add a couple touches of butter, then stir in the uncooked shrimp. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked. Be careful not to overcook.
  8. Finish with fresh parsley, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and juice from 1/2 lemon. Stir well and taste for seasoning, adjusting if needed.
  9. Serve with the fluffed Tony’s Butter & Herb Rice and garnish with fresh parsley and green onions. Enjoy!
