Crawfish Etouffee image

Serve this crawfish etouffee over a bed of rice and you have a perfect meal for Mardi Gras. Simple to prepare, it packs a punch of Cajun flavor. The seasonings are perfectly balanced.

This was the worst etouffee I've ever had. The sauce was bland and the crawfish were tough.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I made this etouffee with chicken instead. It was still really good!

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the crawfish were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The etouffee was a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This etouffee was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used shrimp instead of crawfish, and it was still amazing.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this crawfish etouffee. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the crawfish were tender and juicy.

This crawfish etouffee was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were rich and complex, and the crawfish were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
