Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, whisk together 4 cups water, Tony’s Brown Gravy Mix, Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning, ketchup, apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil. Once mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Turn off heat and set aside.
    Cook the waffle fries according to package directions.
  • In another large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until just pink. Remove with a slotted spoon. Cut shrimp into large chunks. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the juices left in the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the onions, red pepper and green peppers and cook for 5 minutes, until the veggies are softened. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium and add the flour and mix until well combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the prepared brown gravy, shrimp and andouille smoked sausage chunks and mix until well combined. Cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Plate the fries in a large shallow serving bowl or individual bowls. Top with the cheese curds. Ladle the gravy over the fries and serve.
