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.

SHRIMP AND CRAWFISH ETOUFEE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
2 tablespoons diced yellow onion
1 celery stalk, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Roux, recipe follows
Rum
6 shrimp
8 ounces crawfish tail meat
1 ounce Mama's Green Creole Sauce, recipe follows
Pinch pepper
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch ground thyme
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup long grain white rice
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 cloves garlic
4 jalapeno peppers
2 green onions, cut in half
1 small yellow onion, cut into wedges
1 bell pepper, cut into wedges
1/2 bunch parsley, rinsed
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup flour

Steps:

  • For the Etouffee: Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Saute the trinity (peppers, onions and celery). Add the garlic, and saute until slightly tender. Add the Roux and deglaze with some rum to help break it down (it will flame up). Add 1 to 2 cups purified water to form a sauce. Add in the shrimp, crawfish, pepper, salt and thyme. Reduce the flame to a medium-low simmer. Add Mama's Green Creole Sauce. Stir constantly making sure the roux doesn't burn and is completely dissolved. Taste periodically to confirm desired taste. Simmer 10 to 20 minutes, until the etoufee reaches desired thickness.
  • For Mama's Creole Herb Rice: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the brown rice in 1 cup water, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Cook the white rice in 1 cup water in a rice steamer.
  • After both are cooked, empty the pans onto a cookie sheet. Mix the rice and toss with the oil, thyme and salt to taste.
  • Drench the etoufee over the rice, and serve.
  • Place 2 cups water, the lemon juice, oil, salt, garlic, jalapenos, green onions, yellow onions, bell peppers and parsley in a blender and process until a sauce is formed. If the blender is not large enough, you can make it in two batches.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over low heat. Add the flour and stir until mixture is creamy and there are no lumps. Turn the heat down low and keep stirring until the mixture reaches the desired color (a medium or dark brown). Be careful and pay attention as not to burn the roux-- after it reaches a certain shade of brown it will begin to brown faster.

CAJUN CRAWFISH AND SHRIMP ÉTOUFFéE



Cajun Crawfish and Shrimp Étouffée image

An authentic Louisiana recipe with a rich and spicy fresh tomato-based roux with fresh garlic, bell peppers, celery and onions mixed with crawfish and shrimp. A little time consuming but well worth it! Serve over steamed rice with hushpuppies and/or crackers on the side.

Provided by RHONDA35

Categories     Etouffee

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅓ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
⅓ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup fish stock
1 pound crawfish tails
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns 'peanut butter' brown or darker, at least 15 or 20 minutes. I use a large fork with the flat side to the bottom of the pan in a side to side motion. This is your base sauce or 'roux'. It is very important to stir this constantly. If by chance the roux burns, discard and start over.
  • Once the roux is browned, add the onions, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the skillet, and saute for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and fish stock, and season with the seafood seasoning. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season the sauce with hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper (if using), and add the crawfish and shrimp. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your etouffee.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste. Like it spicy? Add more cayenne pepper. Want it more savory? Add more salt or a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Serve etouffee over rice. This is the traditional way to serve it, and it's delicious!

Conclusion:

Crawfish/shrimp etouffee is a classic Cajun dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender seafood, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
