Crawfish Etouffee image

I loved cajun food before living in Baton Rouge, LA for a time. I really learned to love it while living there. Most of the etouffee I have eaten has a heavy roux. This is a lighter sauce. The recipe was downloaded from another site a few years ago.

The etouffee was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I thought the etouffee was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the crawfish were overcooked.
