One of John’s Christmas gifts from me was a cooler filled with delicacies from Cajun Grocer in New Orleans. One of the packages contained 2 pounds of frozen crawfish tails. After much consideration, John decided he wanted to make Etouffee, so he turned to Paul Prudhomme. You can find the recipe here. It was a true treat served over rice with salad and warm French Bread.

A cooler filled with gifts like that sounds amazing. Good job, John!
Susan – your etouffe looks wonderful.
Wow, I wish one of those plates were for me! This looks so scrumptious! A wonderful gift that keeps giving…great idea, Susan!
I went to NOLA for the holidays and LOVED it! What a nice gift from John!!! Ever since we got back I have been making étouffée with shrimp and langoustine tails. Such a yummy dish, and yours looks amazing! I started with Paula Deen’s recipe then added my own two cents. Now I will check out Prudhomme’s! ~ David
My Lindsay went to Tulane Law School so Michael and I made many, many trips to New Orleans and sampled their fabulous fare. Every Mardi Gras we would order a King Cake, another friend would make Red Beans and Rice, and that would form the “bones” for our Mardi Gras party in the mountains. Man, there was good food, in abundance, for that party. I have never tried to recapture some of those dishes but am certainly happy to see your étouffée. John and you do come up with some unique presents for each other.
