re: After Boil Crawfish and Corn Stew [with pics]

This shite is really good.

Looks awesome. What kind of stock did you use?

Just chicken stock. I would normally have made stock from shells, but these were tails from a boil at someone else's house.

Curious - why do you call this a stew and not a gumbo?

To be honest with you, there's not a whole lot of difference between the two as far as method (roux, trinity, stock, simmer, protein, simmer) but everyone has their own definitions. I call it a stew because [1] I keep it thicker than gumbo, [2] I wouldn't put tomato or corn into my gumbo, [3] I wouldn't make crawfish by itself into gumbo.

From what I've read lately, the bayou Cajuns don't put roux in their gumbo at all but they put it in their stews. So for them, this would be a stew no question.

It's a shame TD will not still show the pictures.

I thought it was a TD thing but I use Imgur as well. You can still click on the link to see it.

Thanks for the bump, that looks great!
I love using left over crawfish stuff in dishes

Would smash. Very nice.
