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.

Steps:
- Combine the rice and 6 cups water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender and water has been absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and saute until transparent. Stir in the garlic, and cook for a minute. Stir in the flour until well blended. Gradually stir in the tomato sauce and remaining 1 cup water, then add the crawfish tails and bring to a simmer. Add the green onions and season with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes over low heat, until the crawfish is cooked but not tough. Serve over hot cooked rice.

DAVID'S LOUISIANA SHRIMP/CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE
Etouffee is probably my favorite Cajun/Creole dish. I love both shrimp or crawfish they do have a different flavor when finished. If you buy crawfish make sure you get them with fat included, makes a world of difference. It doesn't matter if your etouffee comes out lighter than what I've posted, it's all good! Experiment and...

Steps:
- 1. Finish making your blonde roux (pictured) but no darker than this. Once you add the aromatics it will stop the roux from changing color further.
- 2. While roux is still hot and on med-high heat add all of the Holy Trinity (onions, celery, bell pepper) and garlic. Continue to cook until onions, celery and bell peppers are tender. It helps to sweat the aromatics if you sprinkle a few pinches of salt over the top of this before mixing it with a heavy wooden spoon.
- 3. Everything is now tender add 2 cups of stock and stir until smooth, then add two more cups of stock and bay leaves and stir until blended
- 4. Continue at a simmer for about minimum 30-45 minutes before adding your shrimp or crawfish. Cook another 10-15 minutes, now it's ready to serve.
- 5. Finished and ready to serve. You can either serve over rice, pasta of any shape even mashed potatoes. I like to either pour over rice or put a cup of rice on top in the center and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chopped green onions Serve with fresh or hot french bread
SHRIMP ÉTOUFFéE
Found in both Creole and Cajun cuisines, étouffée is most commonly made with crawfish tails, which have a distinct flavor, but crawfish have a short season and aren't readily available in most places. This version, with shrimp, is more than a worthy substitute, and an excellent dish all its own. The dish takes its name from the French word "étouffée," which nods to its protein being smothered with sauce. This recipe uses a shortcut version of a roux: The flour is added after the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic have already been sautéed in the butter. If you omit the hot sauce, add apple cider vinegar in its place.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 more minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the ingredients and stir constantly until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, and stir and cook for 1 more minute.
- Pour in the stock and 3/4 cup water. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the hot sauce, bay leaf, Creole seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until the shrimp is cooked through and opaque, about 5 minutes, turning each piece halfway through. Remove from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle the scallions on top. Serve warm over rice.
CAJUN CRAWFISH AND SHRIMP ETOUFFE
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.

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 to 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 sauté 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.
