I just had to share tonight’s dinner with you because it is so fabulous. After a recent trip to California I felt it was necessary to share the EASIEST CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE recipe with my “Cali” girls since they all wanted me to cook for them. Now, just know I made it as simple as possible so “anyone” can do it.
Étouffée or etouffee:
(pronounced: [e.tu.fe] ay-too-fay) is a dish found in both Cajun and creole cuisine typically served with shellfish over rice. It is most popular in New Orleans and in the bayou country of the southernmost half of Louisiana.
Ya know, Louisiana has some of the BEST food ever. Lafayette actually just won Southern Living’s tastiest town award! Can you believe that! It’s amazing!

Let’s get started!
Grab a bell pepper and if you like, an onion.
Start by melting 2 sticks of butter. (I know, I know) Super healthy, right! Have you ever seen Paula Deen?
Dice your bell pepper and onion and throw them in the mix.
You KNOW I am using my “slap ya mamma” cajun seasoning. Just add a little sprinkle in the pot.
Add 2 pounds of crawfish and sautee for a while until everything becomes wilted… Ya know, a little SOFT!
After sautéing for a bout 15 minutes add a can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup.
Add a splash of Louisiana HOT SAUCE. (ya know us cajun’s NEVER measure)
Just add till you feel it’s spicy enough.
Sprinkle some garlic salt (um…about a teaspoon) to add a twist of garlic in it!
Well lookie here! We have some FABULOUS food to eat! How simple and refreshing. Don’t worry if your belly feels REALLY full, it’s supposed too! You can put this on top of rice, baked potato or a juicy steak! Toast some bread and that will really finish it off.
p.s. don’t forget your sweet tea!
Just “incase” you can’t get crawfish locally you can order some from The Louisiana Cajun Crawfish Co.
I hope you enjoy making this yummy meal and lemme know how it comes out!
Don’t be afraid to add your own seasonings to to satisfy your taste buds! I typically add WAY more but wanted to keep it simple for ya!
Sending you full bellies full of LOVE,
