At my house, crawfish stew would be much browner. Mmm, I love a good crawfish stew. That dish is etouffee-ish.

Looks like etoufee made with cream of mushroom canned soup and tomato paste. Something a city cajun would do for a family meal.

What time of day is this dish being eaten? That way we can determine if is it lunch, brunch, dinner or supper, once this is established, then we can work out the name of the dish

Dishes aren't labeled based on their looks.

Is there a roux, and was it smothered? It's an étouffée.

Are there tomatoes instead of roux, but it was smothered? It's a creole.

Is there no roux, and it was cooked in some other way? It's probably a stew of some kind.

That's what I'd call it too. Stew would be more brown. Creole would be very red.

Creol-toufee

I make mixed dishes like this all of the time and they are amazing. Add whatever you want, you don't have to be a purist if it tastes good to you.

If I'm walking up to that table, not knowing what it is, I'm saying etoufee.

Unless its a fricasse.

Whatever it is,it looks smothered and since the word ettoufee is French for smothered i would say thats what it is.

I agree that stew is darker to me, but this looks too thick to be a South LA etouffee. Maybe it's a stew with a light roux?

I also agree that it appears to be a "smothered" dish, so maybe a take on etouffee. Does it have both shrimp and crawfish? Looks like it.
