Crawfish Etouffee image

I like to serve this Cajun sensation when I entertain. Etouffee is typically served with shellfish over rice and is similar to gumbo. This dish has its roots in New Orleans and the bayou country of Louisiana. -Tamra Duncan, Lincoln, Arkansas

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