Etouffee for. Dinner
 

Shrimp etouffee

Plain rice or dirty rice to goo under it?

That's what I call comfort food!

My wife can cook that coonass stuff like you would not believe. We did a big fish fry one year on the Fourth. She made 5 gallon cooler, you know like the road crews put their water in, full of lemon drops. Lemon drop is vodka and lemonade, which pretty much tastes like lemonade. Turns out that stumbling drunk on hard liquor people don't have much of an appetite for fried catfish. She made a pot of gumbo and a bunch of etouffee out of that catfish, some of which we had done blackened. Makes my mouth water typing this just thinking about it.

Mmmmmmm . . . etouffee
Reminds me of Ralph and Kacoo's

I love etouffee.

I think I like saying the word even better.

Love the stuff! And yeah, saying it is fun too.

Soft shell crab reminds me of Ralph and Kacoo's...

Etouffee is xlnt, of course

Oh yeah....breakfast, lunch, and dinner !!

Can someone post a link to a good recipe? I’d like to try it

Went no rice tonight, we did add fresh habanero and basil to the dish.

I'll see if I can get her recipe.

I think best one is in this book https://www.amazon.com/New-Orleans-Cookbook-Rima-Collin/dp/0394752759

but not online.

Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen is worth getting to put on your shelf. I lived in LA and his recipes are real.

Don't overcook that! It looks great! I'd have the roux a little darker.

Where do you get the crawfish? I have a hard time getting tails that are not from china here in CA.
