CRAWFISH ÉTOUFFéE
Celebrate Mardi Gras-or spice up any old Tuesday of the year!-with this classic Creole étouffée from chef Justin Devillier. The dish starts with a simple roux, which is the backbone for "smothering" the crawfish in a traditional New Orleans preparation. (Note: If crawfish isn't readily available where you are, chicken, shrimp, and crab also work well!)

Steps:
- Before preparing the vegetables, clarify the butter (not shown in video): Place 2 sticks unsalted butter (1 cup) in a small saucepan over low to medium heat. Milk solids will foam to the surface, then sink to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the simmering settles and the milk solids have separated from the butterfat, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and strain to remove milk solids. Measure out ½ cup of clarified butter for use in this recipe. (Cool the remaining butter and store in a lidded container in the refrigerator.) Prepare the vegetables: While the butter is clarifying, dice the onion and celery and mince the garlic. Remove stem ends from red bell pepper and jalapeño, then slice the peppers lengthwise into thin strips. Discard the seeds and white veins, then small-dice the strips.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the clarified butter and flour over high heat; whisk to combine and get rid of the lumps. This will form a paste called a roux. As soon as the lumps are gone, reduce heat to medium, switch to a wooden spoon, and cook, scraping the bottom to keep it from burning. (If you see steam or smoke, turn the temperature down further.) Keep stirring to prevent the roux from burning, up to 30 minutes. As the roux cooks, it will darken in color.
- When the roux is reddish and on its way to brown, add onion, red pepper, celery, jalapeño, and garlic; stir to combine with the roux. Allow vegetables to sweat and soften, about 2 minutes.
- Turn heat to high and slowly add the stock into the roux mixture, whisking constantly. As the sauce comes to a boil, it will rapidly thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon. Once the sauce is the right consistency, add the crawfish and bay leaves; stir to combine. Season to taste with several pinches of salt. Stir in the chopped scallions and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, 10-12 minutes.
- Assembly: Taste étouffée and adjust seasoning. Stir in chopped parsley and juice of one lemon and stir to combine. Serve over hot steamed rice.
CRAWFISH ETOUFFéE
Crawfish étouffée is one of the best dishes to introduce someone to Cajun cooking. The beautiful peanut butter-colored roux, the trinity-onions, bell pepper and celery-and the protein of your choice create fantastic flavor together. The classic proteins are shrimp and crawfish, but I've made it with chicken, mushrooms and even lobster. Think of this as an upgrade to your traditional gravy and rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil begins to lightly smoke, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until it turns a peanut butter brown color. Turn off the heat. Stir in the celery, onions and peppers and cook until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Return the heat to medium to medium-low and stir in the garlic and bay leaves. While the trinity cooks, combine the cayenne, thyme, white pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Stir into the skillet, a little at a time, to build flavor (see Cook's Note).
- Whisk in the stock 1 cup at a time, making sure it is incorporated and smooth. Bring to a boil, then cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Add the crawfish and cook until they tighten in appearance, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then stir in half of the green onions. Serve immediately over fluffed rice with hot sauce and garnish with the remaining green onions.
SHRIMP AND CRAWFISH ETOUFEE
Steps:
- For the Etouffee: Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Saute the trinity (peppers, onions and celery). Add the garlic, and saute until slightly tender. Add the Roux and deglaze with some rum to help break it down (it will flame up). Add 1 to 2 cups purified water to form a sauce. Add in the shrimp, crawfish, pepper, salt and thyme. Reduce the flame to a medium-low simmer. Add Mama's Green Creole Sauce. Stir constantly making sure the roux doesn't burn and is completely dissolved. Taste periodically to confirm desired taste. Simmer 10 to 20 minutes, until the etoufee reaches desired thickness.
- For Mama's Creole Herb Rice: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the brown rice in 1 cup water, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Cook the white rice in 1 cup water in a rice steamer.
- After both are cooked, empty the pans onto a cookie sheet. Mix the rice and toss with the oil, thyme and salt to taste.
- Drench the etoufee over the rice, and serve.
- Place 2 cups water, the lemon juice, oil, salt, garlic, jalapenos, green onions, yellow onions, bell peppers and parsley in a blender and process until a sauce is formed. If the blender is not large enough, you can make it in two batches.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over low heat. Add the flour and stir until mixture is creamy and there are no lumps. Turn the heat down low and keep stirring until the mixture reaches the desired color (a medium or dark brown). Be careful and pay attention as not to burn the roux-- after it reaches a certain shade of brown it will begin to brown faster.
CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE

- In a large saute pan, melt butter over high heat. When butter just begins to brown, add crawfish and garlic, saute for 2 minutes. Add sauce, reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes Add hot pepper sauce, to taste. Serve over Rice Pilaf and garnish with green onions.
- In a heavy-bottomed 8-quart saucepot on high, heat oil until just smoking. Whisk in flour, reduce heat, and stir constantly until a peanut butter colored roux develops. Add onion, green pepper, and celery; stir in and cook while stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cayenne, white pepper, and thyme. Cook 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the stock, then tomatoes. Bring to simmer and cook 20 minutes, skim to remove foam as needed. Season, to taste. Remove from heat, cover and hold for later.
- In a heavy weight 4-quart saucepot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced peppers, stir and cook 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cayenne, white pepper, and thyme and cook 2 minutes. Add hot stock and bring to a boil. Stir in rice, reduce to simmer, cover, and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until rice in just tender. Remove from heat, fluff rice with a fork, and adjust seasonings.
- Keep in warm place until needed.
OIL RIG ETOUFFEE (CRAWFISH)
My DH got this recipe from a true Cajun while visiting an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Not a typical etouffee, but tasty none the less. This recipe caters to the fact that there are limited grocery options 100 miles from land. Louisiana crawfish tails are the ideal, but Chinese will work as well. Tonys Chachere's More Spice Seasoning is the best Creole seasoning to use.

CORN MAQUECHOUX SALAD WITH CRAWFISH
I was going to cook up some traditional Cajun maquechoux one night, but instead decided to use its typical ingredients as the basis for a salad. It's a refreshing change from the usual corn preparations, and shrimp could be used in place of the crawfish but I don't believe it has quite the same flavor. Prep time includes allowing dressing to sit for awhile.
