Best 7 Cajun Gravy Recipes

POPEYES CAJUN GRAVY

Steps:

• First, make the roux by cooking the oil and flour for 10 to 15 minutes over low heat, making sure that the mixture browns but does not burn.
• Add remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil.
• Cook for 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

CAJUN SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE GRAVY OVER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Sausage -- In a large saute pan cook the diced andouille on medium heat until cooked through. Don't cook it at too high of a temperature. You want to slowly saute it. Once it is done, remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
• Sauce -- In the same pan, pour out the drippings from the andouille (no need to clean the pan out, the flavor is fine, you just don't want all the oil) and add the fresh olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add in the onion, celery, red pepper and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes.
• Deglaze -- Originally I used chicken broth because that is all I had. Now, I like to deglaze with white wine just to get all the bits up off the pan. Add the wine and scrape up the bits from the pan and cook just a minute, then remove from the heat and slowly add in the cream, hot sauce (to taste) and the cajun seasoning and return to the heat on medium low cook until it reduces about 20-30 minutes. The cream will naturally thicken on it's own.
• Shrimp and Sausage -- After the sauce has thickened, add the sausage back in as well as the shrimp and cook on medium heat until the shrimp begin to curl and turn pink. Add salt and pepper if needed according to your taste.
• Biscuits -- Now I just used a canned biscuit, so I baked them according to directions, but if you want to make your own, by all means please do.
• Serving -- Right before serving, add in the scallions and serve this decadent sauce over sliced biscuits.
• Cook up some of your favorite eggs and serve with some Bloody Mary's for a perfect brunch. This also would make a great lunch or dinner.

• 1. Heat olive oil in heavy skillet. When olive oil is hot, add onions and andouille sausage. Saute until onions are transparent and sausage is browned. Set aside.
• 2. In Pampered Chef rice cooker, add chicken broth. Stir in rice and seasonings. Add onions and sausage, stir well. Place cover on rice cooker and microwave on high for 20 minutes.
• 3. Remove cooker from microwave and remove cover. Add a small amount of butter, if desired and fluff with fork, making sure all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. You may cover and return to microwave for about 5 more minutes if necessary. Serve with Cajun Spiced Gravy (directions to follow).
• 4. CAJUN SPICED GRAVY: Melt butter in heavy saucepan. When butter is melted, whisk in flour until well blended. Combine broth, milk and seasonings and slowly whisk into butter mixture. Bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring constantly and cook until thickened. If gravy seems too thin, mix about a tablespoon of flour with a little milk to make a thin paste and whisk in a little at a time until desired thickness is reached. If mixture seems too thick, you may add a little more milk. Remove from heat and transfer to serving dish to serve with dirty rice.
• 5. SPECIAL NOTE: This rice dish can be made on top of the stove in a heavy saucepan, but reduce the broth from three cups to two cups. In my experience, the Pampered Chef cooker requires more liquid than the stove top.
