Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups yellow onion diced
  • ½ cup celery diced
  • 1 red orange or yellow pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini squash diced
  • 4-6 baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1 – 2 cups chopped okra optional
  • 1-3 tsp chipotle pepper puree to taste) or 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce make sure it's a GF brand, diced
  • 2 lbs. crawfish shrimp, langostino tails, white fish (e.g. tilapia, swai, flounder, orange roughy, etc.) or tofu, or a mixture of these
  • ½ Tbs. gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 cup very warm water
  • ½ tsp. sea salt to taste
  • ½ tsp. cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 3 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

Instructions

  • Dice and sauté onions with olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the onions are soft and translucent. Add celery, peppers, zucchini, mushrooms and okra, if using. Stir occasionally and cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft, but not mushy.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the chipotle pepper puree with the seafood (thawed, if previously frozen). If seafood is already cooked, stir into the vegetables until warmed; if it is uncooked, add to the center of the pan, moving the vegetables to the perimeter of the pan and cook the shrimp, crawfish and langostinos until pink; cook the white fish until it is no longer pink. If using tofu, press first to release extra moisture, then cube and add to saute.
  • Whisk together the gfJules Flour with water until no lumps are left, then pour over cooked mixture in the pan. Add salt and peppers, stirring until the mixture thickens and is hot throughout.
  • Add parsley and serve warm over steamed rice or quinoa.
