Crawfish Etouffee

February 2, 2013 by susanelester 4 Comments

All you need is a spoon and some French Bread!
Crawfish Tails


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.

My mother made this wonderful salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

    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.
