Crawfish Etouffee (w/pics)

Apologies in advance if this is too basic.
I made some crawfish etouffee a couple of days ago and posted a pic in the wfdt thread.
bossflossjr also posted a picture of his etouffee, and they looked completely different. Mine was not very "saucy," mostly because I wasn't serving it over rice and I was just making it for myself.
I decided to make more etouffee today, but this version was going to go over rice because I wanted to take some to a friend. I needed it to have more sauce & more body. I don't always make a roux for etouffee, but decided to make a golden roux. Here we go:
Flour & butter
Golden roux:
Add the veg:
Depth of flavor w/ lobster base:
After adding 1 Tbs. of base, add water & simmer:
Add the tail meat:
Packaged to go:

If I thought for a minute you'd actually say yes, I'd give you the rest of it. (Just giving you a hard time.)

When did you add the creme of celery soup?
Posted on 5/4/13 at 7:36 pm to ksayetiger
No soup! Ever!

Not sure if serious about the celery soup haha. That looks like a legit recipe. I didn't know that Better than Boullion had a lobster base. That is perfect for seafood dishes I bet. I usually make my own crawfish stock and use that instead of water, bu if you don't have that, that lobster base should work great. My recipe is almost identical to yours, except I add a little tomatoe paste to give it the orange color because mine always comes out grayish.

I never even seen it for sale or offered in any restaurants here in Minnesota. What does it taste like? (please don't say it tastes like chicken)
Posted on 5/4/13 at 10:43 pm to RedMustang
It tastes NOTHING like chicken. You need to make a visit to south Louisiana and find out! It is worth the air fare. Make sure you come during crawfish season.
It's sweet. I don't know what to compare it too.
Anybody? Bueller?

It's on my bucket list. I'd like to go to a night football game at LSU and take part in some real southern tailgating. I suppose that doesn't coincide with crawfish season? Is it better than shrimp?
