I followed this to the letter except I doubled the recipe. If you do choose to double it do NOT add double the water just add as needed. Mine came out too watery so it didn't have as much flavor as it should. I think this did need some Cajun spice added to it. I sprinkled Zatarain's Cajun season blend on individual servings. Good basic recipe! Read More

This was great! I left out the black/cayenne pepper and used Tony's cajun seasoning in it's place. We are used to more gravy so we added a can of cream of celery soup also. We cooked our rice in a rice pot/cooker. This will def be added to our regular menu. Would be good with shrimp also! Thanks!!!! Read More

I had an etouffee dish in Houston 10 years ago. I have always ordered etouffee when I could find it on the menu at home in Ohio it was never the same. This was really close so happy I tried this recipe. Did some tweaking can't find real crawfish in Ohio so I substituted Langostinos. I don't have cajun seasoning so I used Old Bay sprinkled on plus a dash or two of cayenne and a little pepper. Tasted and thought I needed more pepper accidentally opened the wrong side and dumped a good teaspoon of pepper into the dish it was perfect! I like spicy but not super hot. I used the mushroom garlic soup and used the minced roasted garlic in a jar. This was fabulous! Thank you! Read More

Very simple to make with only about ten minutes of prep work. I ended up using about 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne with 1/2 tsp pepper/salt. Delicious and well received at dinner. Read More
