Last time I made it, I browned the Tasso and it was amazing? Anyone else done this before?

In the words of dis baw, "Do it how you like it"

I bet that Tasso was good in that etouffee

Yes, just make sure you use beef broth!

Tasso makes anything better. Especially tasso from Teet's in VP

I like my crawfish etouffee to be crawfish flavored, so Tasso is a no-go for me. But if you like it, do it.

I made a pot of Shrimp and Tasso Alfredo Pasta. One of the best I’ve ever made.


I use Tasso in Jambalaya, Pastalaya, Gumbo, Charro Beans, etc. It’s way too good in most dishes!

I’ll be doing this soon! That sounds awesome.
And I’m sure Tasso in etouffee tastes fine, but you’re not going to catch me doing it. No need to reinvent the wheel on that one.

I'm the same way. I generally like my gumbos, fricassees, and etouffees to be either strictly land animal or strictly aquatic. Exception being something like a duck and oyster gumbo.

That said, I will from time to time use tasso in otherwise aquatic pasta dishes, like a shrimp/scallop alfredo. I just don't use a whole lot like a would in a red beans dish.

I think Tasso or sausage/andouille fits well with pasta dishes.

I don’t like it with seafood stews (like etouffe) but I do like it with meat stews (like sauce piquant). That’s just how it’s always been for me.
