?New Orleans Seafood Stew is a classic Cajun recipe that is perfect for a winter meal. This hearty stew is full of fresh seafood, and is served over rice.
Melt the butter and mix with flour to make a roux.
Add the celery, onion, green pepper, and garlic and saute until onions are soft.
Add chicken broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, bay leaves, and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat.
Add any uncooked seafood and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add any pre-cooked seafood and heat through just before serving.
Serve with salad and bread, or over rice.
For a broth variation, drizzle a tsp of sherry over each serving.
Another variation: try salmon instead of catfish.
