Crawfish Etouffee Recipe
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter, or use peanut oil
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper chopped (I use jalapeno for spicier)
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons Cajun seasonings or to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for a spicier dish
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups chicken stock, or use seafood stock
1 pound crawfish tail meat, par-cooked
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
FOR GARNISH: Extra chopped parsley, spicy chili flakes, hot sauce
Cooked rice for serving, if desired
Cooking Directions:
Heat a large pan or pot to medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Stir continuously for 5 minutes, or until the roux turns a copper color. Do not let the roux burn.
Add the onion, peppers, celery, and garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes to soften.
Stir in the Cajun seasonings, cayenne, salt and pepper to taste, and stock or broth. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to let the flavors develop, stirring occasionally.
Add the crawfish tails and warm them through.
Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
Serve over white rice (if desired) and garnish with extra parsley and spicy chili flakes. Don't forget the hot sauce!

Easy Shrimp Etouffee Recipe
A Louisiana classic, easy Shrimp Etouffee is on the table in under 30 minutes. Slightly spicy, quick and simple.
--------------------------------------FULL RECIPE BELOW--------------------------------------
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves minced
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
1 celery stalk finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
2 lbs medium shrimp peeled and deveined

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the onion, pepper and celery. Cook the vegetables for 8-10 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
While the vegetables are cooking, make the roux by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. (Be sure to whisk frequently to prevent burning on the bottom.)
Add the roux, green onions and parsley to the vegetables and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp, cayenne pepper and creole seasoning tossing to combine. Cover the skillet and cook for 4-5 minute or until the shrimp is cooked through.
