    My version of a southern classic, shrimp Étouffée is a really easy, but full flavored cajun shrimp dish. It's full of vegetables and shrimp in a flavor packed broth. Make it as spicy as you like!

    Shrimp Etouffee – Cajun Style Shrimp Etouffee – Cajun Style

    Etouffee is French, translated it means "smothered." It is a bit thicker and gravy-like compared to Shrimp Creole. “Cajun” style – Etouffee uses no tomatoes, however tomato paste is used here as thickening agent along with a mid-dark roux. For Creole style Etouffee, add a can of chopped tomatoes.Things get started here with the basic “holy trinity” (onions, peppers, & celery) and a good stock is necessary. Adjust the ingredients (substitute crawfish) and seasonings (add cayenne) to your liking and ... “Laissez les bon temps rouler” [Let the good times roll!]

    This dish is loaded with flavor. Hearty, healthy, and filling. It may seem like a lot of work but it's not! Once the roux is made it just simmers and does its thing while you can enjoy a glass of wine. 😊

    No roux in this etouffee, so it's quite fast to make. I thicken it at the end with a little cornstarch instead.

    This was originally going to be a pretty straightforward shrimp etouffee, but our supermarket had a sale on fresh cod and scallops, and I couldn't resist. Despite the change in plan, the actual cooking process remained pretty much the same. The resulting dish was familiar yet different, and pretty darned tasty. A nice change from the usual chowder.

    This was my 8 year old culinary students first attempt at an Étouffée. What a delicious job they did! It's not only super easy but so spicy and smokey! They more than quadrupled this recipe and they will be delivering this dish to our local women's shelter at 5:00 am tomorrow. Great work kiddos! I'm so proud of all of you for constantly giving back to your community!

  • A picture of Creole Crawfish Etouffe with grape tomatoes.

    Creole Crawfish Etouffe with grape tomatoes Creole Crawfish Etouffe with grape tomatoes

    Traditional Etouffe does not contain tomatoes of any kind, it is forbidden! However, I like the pop of fresh grape tomato acidity with the richness of the Etouffe sauce. To minimize the sin, I add the halved grape tomtaoes, minus the pulp and seeds, right at the end just to warm them. This prevents "bleed" from the tomatoes and adds the fresh pop I have grown to love. You can always leave them out, but I hope you will love them too.
