Crawfish Etouffee image

I loved cajun food before living in Baton Rouge, LA for a time. I really learned to love it while living there. Most of the etouffee I have eaten has a heavy roux. This is a lighter sauce. The recipe was downloaded from another site a few years ago.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure I could adjust the amount of cayenne pepper.
