There. I said it.

So easy you can't screw it up, the crawfish is the main thing you taste and the longer it sits out the better it gets.

Those were my choices for dinner tonight. Since I didn't have Half-n-Half or Heavy Cream, and didn't feel like making a trip to the grocery, Etouffee is tonight's meal.

there were several posted on here awhile back. i liked this one the best because of the simplicity.



quote:

Ingredients
1 lb crawfish tails, boiled and peeled; OR
1 lb shrimp, peeled; OR
1 lb lump crabmeat; OR
1 lb oysters, drained and quartered.
1 stick butter (Do not use margarine.)
1 pint half-and-half
1 bunch green onions, chopped (tops, too)
3 to 10 cloves garlic, chopped (to your taste)
1 or 2 Tbs Creole seasoning (or to taste)
1 lb cooked fresh pasta (Dry pasta is all right if fresh is not available. Rotini is preferred, but use your favorite shape.)

Directions
Cook pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain, then rinse under cool water. Drain again, thoroughly.

Melt the butter in a large pot and sauté onions and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the seafood and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half, then add several big pinches of Creole seasoning, tasting before the next pinch until you think it's right. If you've boiled your own crawfish, save the fat and add it in as well.

Cook for 5 - 10 minutes over medium heat until the sauce thickens. Add the pasta and toss well. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so over very low heat, stirring often. Serve immediately, with lots of French bread and a nice dry white wine.

That's KajunGee's (RIP) recipe and it is in the F&D board cookbook.

I like it "saucier" than that. Where are the green onions?

celery, yellow onion, bell pepper and cheese is the only diff I can see.

But I'd still like to try.

that's a stock photo I grabbed from Google.

Didn't take any pics from this weekend because I ate it too fast.
