Crawfish Etouffee Georgia Style image

This is a recipe that is often asked for at the restaurant where I work. They never let us make it, but we get asked by guests a lot. We are a full-service French restaurant. This is a home favorite with my wife and kid. Almost as good as rabbit and pig! It's an etouffee to love: thick, rich, and full of taste. Serve on hot steamed rice with garlic bread and a green salad. Enjoy!

I'm not a fan of okra, so I left it out of the recipe. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, so I used less cayenne pepper. It was still delicious.
