GO-TO CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE
This recipe was (after much prodding) given to me by a friend. The soup seems an odd addition, but replaces the traditional roux -- and the end result is nothing short of wonderful. Serve over rice or linguine.

LOUISIANA CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE
Here in Louisiana, there's nothing better than this classic during crawfish season. This recipe is easy and can be substituted with shrimp when crawfish are out of season. Even better when served with hot garlic French bread! Start cooking the rice first since this is a quick and easy dish.

CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE
I like to serve this Cajun sensation when I entertain. Etouffee is typically served with shellfish over rice and is similar to gumbo. This dish has its roots in New Orleans and the bayou country of Louisiana. -Tamra Duncan, Lincoln, Arkansas

Steps:
- 1. In 4qt pot (I prefer cast iron), melt butter. Add onion, bell pepper. Saute til crisp-tender.
- 2. Once veggies have cooked down, add soups and frozen crawfish. Season w/ salt, pepper, and garlic. Adding creole/cajun seasoning, if desired. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and to break apart crawfish. Add water anytime during cooking process if you feel it's needed.
- 3. Heat through and serve over rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh crawfish if possible. Fresh crawfish have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crawfish. If you can't find fresh crawfish, frozen crawfish will work fine.
- Clean the crawfish thoroughly before cooking. Remove the heads and tails, and devein the crawfish. You can also remove the shells, but this is optional.
- Season the crawfish well. Crawfish has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper.
- Cook the crawfish until it is cooked through. Crawfish is cooked through when it is pink and opaque. Overcooked crawfish will be tough and chewy.
- Serve the crawfish etouffee immediately. Crawfish etouffee is best served hot and fresh. You can serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Crawfish etouffee is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your etouffee spicy or mild, with or without shells, there is a recipe out there that is perfect for you.
