CAJUN SHRIMP ETOUFFEE
"Cajun" is the name given to French Acadians who settled in Louisiana after being exiled from Canada. My grandparents were cajun and even today you can still hear French spoken in their hometowns almost as frequently as you hear English.

CAJUN CRAWFISH AND SHRIMP ÉTOUFFéE
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 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.

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.

MIXED CAJUN ETOUFFEE
I love Cajun food but don't have a Cajun restaraunt. After trying several types of recipes, this is what I came up with. We thought it came out really well and it has become one of our favorites. Feel free to adjust the amount of heat for your tastes. I find that using a cast iron skillet works best for the browning, but use what you have. Also, this make a big batch (we like leftovers) so cut in half if you need. Make sure to have some crusty bread for "soppin'" up the juice.

Steps:
- In a large hot skillet, brown the sausage quickly over high heat to seal in juices.
- Remove to medium size bowl. Go ahead and taste a piece if you want.
- Add the chicken breasts to the same pan and quickly brown both sides, cooking through. If the breasts are really thick, you may want to slice them in half or pound them so they will cook through without burning the outside.
- Remove chicken to cutting board to cool.
- Meanwhile, throw shrimp in pan and give a quick browning (no more than 45-60 seconds).
- Add browned shrimp to bowl with sausage. The shrimp doesn't tempt me as much as the sausage, but go ahead a sample a piece if you want.
- Now head back to the chicken. Should be cool enough to handle if you're careful. Either shred into bite size pieces or dice with a sharp knife.
- Add to the shrimp and sausage.
- Measure out one cup of beer and set aside.
- Pour the remaining beer over the meat mixture.
- Add chopped parsley and combine well.
- Using the same skillet that you browned your meat in, melt the butter over medium heat, scraping up the browned bits of meat.
- Whisk in flour a little at a time, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Continue cooking until roux (flour and butter mixture) is nice and browned, 10-15 minutes. Don't rush it by turning up the heat or you'll burn it.
- Add onions, celery, peppers and garlic to roux.
- Cook 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Stir in spices and cook another 5-10 minutes.
- At this point, I transfer to a bigger pot because I don't have a big enough skillet. If you need to do this, heat your bigger pot a few minutes before you add the chicken broth and beer (next step)so it's ready to go. If just using one pot, ignore this step.
- Add remaining cup of beer and chicken broth to roux/veggie mixture. Add hot sauce if desired.
- Stir well to combine, cover and simmer 10-15 minutes.
- Pour meat mixture into pot and combine well.
- Continue cooking 5-10 minutes longer.
- Serve with hot rice.

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

CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP ETOUFFEE
We're going to use this spicy and delicious New Orleans classic to demonstrate that it is possible to get good results from using waterlogged frozen shrimp, which unfortunately is sometimes the only option. To make them work we've got to use a few tricks. I prefer this with little chunks of browned chicken or pork, actually.

- Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to turn tan at the edges. Saute onion, celery, and green pepper in hot butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in remaining spice blend.
- Sprinkle flour into vegetable mixture and saute until combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until tomato juices begin to brown on bottom of pan, about 3 minutes.
