CRAYFISH ETOUFFEE
This recipe is a twist on the more usual Cajun- style etouffee- it's served on crisp tortillas and garnished with grated cheese and sour cream! You can substitute uncooked medium peeled and deveined shrimp for the crayfish. The recipe comes from the R.S.V.P. section of an April 1989 issue of Bon Appetit and was requested from the Cafe' Blue Bayou restaurant in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
