What you will need:
1 Pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 pound crawfish tails (I used frozen pre cooked)
2 Cups Shrimp stock (subbed chicken broth)
1 & 1/2 pack of seasoning blend (bell pepper, onion, celery- or chop your own)
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
2 & 1/2 table spoons all purpose flour
3 table spoons butter
3 table spoons olive oil
2 table spoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme and oregano

2 table spoons minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup fresh green onions

Notes: If you have the patience, making your own shrimp stock and using fresh crawfish tails will elevate the dish. See my Shrimp Scampi vid for shrimp stock recipe ( Also using fresh peppers, celery and onion would boost it up a bit more. But even with the short cuts, this SMACKED!!
New Orleans Crawfish Etouffee {Made EXTRA Easy!!!}
Every state has one of those iconic dishes that can feel extremely intimidating to replicate, and Louisiana most definitely has etouffee on lock.
New Orleans is one of our favorite travel destinations, and a few years back we went to a bar just outside the square to eat crawfish, but I left there dreaming for more of their delicious etouffee! I literally thought about this etouffee for YEARS! It was the perfect consistency and thickness, so smooth and creamy, and the flavor — there was like this little pop of acidity to it — I hadn’t ever experienced that with etouffee before and it really made a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
No matter how accomplished of a chef you may be, some dishes will always prove to be somewhat intimidating to replicate. For me, this was crawfish etouffee. I love it so much, the thought of messing it up hurts! But, in true Anthony Kitchen form, around here, we believe if you take the time to make something special from scratch, you can get phenomenal, amazing results!

So let's do it!
Here's What You'll Need:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
3 stalks of celery, finely diced
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 cups unsalted chicken broth or unsalted seafood broth
2 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Generous pinch black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 large tomato (seeds and pulp removed), diced
12 ounces fresh or frozen cooked crawfish tails, thawed
How To Make It:
Add the butter to a large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Do not allow the butter to burn. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery as soon as the butter has melted and sauté until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, and stir for about 1 - 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, and begin adding the first 2 cups of chicken broth one big splash at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add the remaining chicken broth and stir to combine.
Stir in the Worcestershire, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and diced tomato.
Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer for 6-8 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thickened. Stir occasionally. Add the crawfish tails and simmer an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with a heaping serving of fluffy white rice, and enjoy!
