Louisiana style seafood etoufee
      #11168 - 08/03/04 11:46 AM

What you will need:

Catfish nuggets or the fish of your choice 1/2 lb
Crawfish about 1 lb whole or 1/4lb of tail meat
Rice pelaif
can of cream of mushroom soup
sour cream
diced large white onion
salt/pepper/garlic powder/Creole seasoning/butter
garlic bread
A good red wine

First things first pour a large glass of wine to enjoy while cooking.

In a pot bring your water to boil and start the rice.

Place the catfish (or other) nuggets in a hot pan with butter and cook until flaky add pepper and salt to taste. Add 1/2 diced onion to pan with 5min or so left to cook and cook until the onion is browned. Once done remove from heat and set aside.

While the fish is cooking bring water to a boil if your crawfish are live and boil until they are a bright red aprox 8-10min at a rolling boil. season heavy with Creole or shrimp boil seasoning. NOTE do not eat crawfish with straight tails the tail should be curled after cooking if its straight throw that one out.

Once the crawfish are done de shell and set the tail meat aside.

bring a can of cream mushroom to heat with 2TS of butter add 3 heaping TS of the sour cream and blend once hot and blended add the fish, onion, crawfish, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste and use liberal amount of Creole season.

Serve over rice with garlic bread to the side a nice green salad goes well also and be sure to top off that wine glass.

Hope you enjoy

It was very good. Catfish and crawfish are in short supply around here so we went with Halibut and Prawns plus a few clams, squid pieces and Abalone. Couldn't find any Cajun sauce so used Peri Peri and Tobasco. Wild Rice Pilaf. A couple of bottles of Henry's and we were set.

We'll do it again. Thanks for the recipe

Happy it was to your liking. I love prawns but they are rare here I have a place in FL. I make sure to get some when there.

I will sub Zartains (not sure of the spelling) seafood mix sometimes for Cajun seasoning, I was recently in New Orleans on the way to TX. and stocked up on some real cajun seasoning. If you need some drop me a PM with address and I would be happy to send you a bottle.

What are crawfish? A crustacean of some sort I guess?

Salt water or fresh water?

Thanks.

Small shellfish known as "mudd bugs " . Just pinch the head and suck on the tail

Think of it as a lobster on 1/4 scale they are fresh water and I like to dump them into salt water before the boil to "purge" them then into the pot.

We here in the Southern US have boils were you will take a bag of crawfish maybe 10lbs worth sometimes up to 50lbs dependant on your party, throw them in a rolling boil pot along with corn on the cobb/ small red potatoes/ lots of hot sauce and a liberal amount of shrimp boil season. After a few mins you dump them out on a table outdoors and as stated pull the tail off eat the meat and suck the juice out of the head that is were the spices lay. Have a big cooler full of cold beer to chill the heat off the spices and you have yourself a good Southern boil party.

I make sure to attend the Sunday afternoon boil on the sport boat docks whenever I am at my place in Florida one of the local restaurants puts on its a great time.

So the Aussie yabbie may be similar. Otherwise can just substitute prawns. Ours are too large to call "shrimp".

Nitro

Crawfish and Yabbies are almost the same. Same size also.

Aah good. So just need to find a dam somewhere to poach. Most of them have disappeared from the creeks on my land.

Got it backwards, Amigo. You "pinch the tail [peel it and eat it]" - then - "suck the head".

Reading about doing it your way gave me an erection and I thank you for that.
