LOUISIANA'S BEST CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter in a heavy large skillet. Don't use cast iron. Saute chopped vegetables for 30 minutes on low heat, but don't brown.
• 2. Add flour to vegetables to make a paste; saute 5 minutes, but don't brown.
• 3. If you have shrimp or chicken stock use it, or you can make your own chicken broth by dissolving bouillon cubes in water. If all else fails use water and add to vegetable mixture, whisking to prevent lumps. Simmer on medium low for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for flavor and add seasonings as needed. No matter how you like it; mild, medium or hot, just remember that you can always ADD more heat, but you can't take it out. The longer you simmer, the better it will get. If it begins to thicken add more stock/broth/water.
• 4. When ready to serve add crawfish tails to sauce and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add parsley, heat through and serve over white rice, garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and Leidenheimer's French bread. Ahhh, C'est ci bon!

When garlic is added it becomes the Holy Trinity wit' da Pope. Recipe can be doubled I always make my Etouffee as written, though some like it with some tomato in it (Creole style), so in that case these optional ingredients can be added. 1 can diced tomatoes 1 lg can tomato sauce 1 Tbsp sweet basil

CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE

Steps:

• In 5-quart pot, melt butter (medium high heat).
• Add chopped onions, celery & bell peppers, & minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
• Add 3 lbs of Crawfish tails (with fat if available). Mix well.
• Add garlic powder, Emeril's & Texjoy's steak seasoning, a pinch of salt (optional), black & cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly.
• Add ½ capful of Shrimp & Crab Boil. Stir.
• Add Soups (Golden Mushroom, Cream of Celery & Cream of Shrimp). Mix well.
• Stir often for 2-3 minutes, making sure the mixture is heating throughout.
• Add 1 capful of Kitchen Bouquet & a generous sprinkling of Parsley flakes. Mix thoroughly.

• NOTE:.
• If the etouffee mixture is still too thick after adding the soups, consider filling ONE of the soup cans with water and adding the water to the mixture. It thins out the etouffee a bit, but it doesn't affect the flavor much. Also, consider dropping a boiled egg or two in at step 8, and garnishing the final dish with green onions. Some like to eat the etouffee with cornbread. Experiment for yourself!

CAJUN CRAWFISH ETOUFFéE

Steps:

• Place the crawfish tails in a bowl and sprinkle with some creole seasoning and set aside. Chop the yellow onions, peppers, celery and set aside in a bowl for later. Chop the green onions and set aside. Chop the garlic and set aside. Mix the Herb and Spice Blend in a small bowl. Set the butter aside to soften and the flour for the roux.
• Place about 3 cups of the seafood stock in a stockpot to warm (reserve the remainder if needed to thin the etouffée at the end).
• Place a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 8 tablespoons of butter until bubbly, then add the flour and whisk continuously to make a medium roux, the color of peanut butter, about 5 to 8 minutes. (See Recipe Notes)
• Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers (the Trinity) to the roux. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and stir the vegetables until all coated with the roux.
• Once the Dutch oven has cooled somewhat, return to a medium heat and continue to stir occationally for atotal of 15 minutes.
• Add the garlic and about half the green onions; continue to sauté until aromatic-about 1 to 2 minutes; add about 1/2 of the Herb and Spice mix and both bay leaves and mix well to combine; continue to sauté about 5 more minutes.
• While the veggie/roux mixture is finishing up, turn the heat to high under the stock pot and bring the stock to a rolling boil.
• When the veggie/roux mixture is ready, mix it into the boiling stock. Usung a slotted spoon, mix in one spoonful at a time, stirring until the whole spoonful is fully dissolved. Continue this until all the veggie/roux mixture is incorporated into the stock, making sure to return the stock to a full rolling boil in between spoons. Set the cast iron pot aside, do not clean it.
• Allow the gravy to medium boil for about 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the stockpot and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn the heat to medium high under the cast iron Dutch oven used for the roux and add 2 tablespoons of butter. As the butter melts scrape up any fond that's stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• When the butter is foaming, add about 1/2 to 2/3 of the reserved green onions (saving some to sprinkle on top of the etouffée when serving) and sauté a minute or two, then add the crawfish tails and about half of the remaining Herb and Spice Blend. Mix well until all the crawfish are coated with butter.
• Sauté about 2 to 3 minutes stirring constantly; you'll see some liquid developing from the butter and rendering the crawfish. (See Recipe Notes).
• Add the gravy mixture to the crawfish tails and mix well. The liquid from sautéing the tails in the butter will thin out the gravy.
• Mix well, taste for spice, and add more if needed. When this comes to a heavy simmer lower the heat to a slight simmer for about 20 minutes.
• If the gravy is getting too thick, place the cover on the pan while it simmers. Add some of the reserved stock if you need to thin the gravy.
• When you have the consistency you want, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and shake the pan back and forth, don't stir, until the butter is melted into the etouffée-then give it one final gentle stir.
• Remove the bay leaves and serve over white rice.
