One of my favorite meals in Louisiana is crawfish étoufféeâI had it first in plantation country, and I've been hooked ever since! Shrimp can be substituted for crawfish. The major trick with this dish is to follow the part that says
slowly brown
â¦.
Crawfish Ãtouffée
Ingredients
½ cup roux (brown ¼ cup oil and ½ flour, adding a pat of butterâslowly so that it does not burn!)
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped bell pepper
1 small can diced tomatoes
3 cloves finely chopped garlic
2 cups water
3 lbs of cleaned crawfish meat
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
dash of cayenne
Directions
Simmer, adding chopped white onions and bell pepper. When a nice soft consistency has been
reached, add in the diced tomatoes, garlic, water and seasoning. Stir this mixture constantly over medium-high heat until all ingredients are evenly combined. Cover the pan, reduce to a low heat and allow it all to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Next, add the crawfish (or shrimp) and bring the mixture to a boil, bring to a low boil for about five minutes or so, and then bring back to low heat. Serve over fluffy white rice.
Mix up a green salad,
cut some French bread and enjoy!
This Southern favorite is as easy asâ¦mint!
Mint Julep

4 or 5 fresh mint leaves
Jigger bourbon whiskey
Powdered sugar (or cane sugar, or even substitute)
Water
Directions
Mix mint and sugar in a tall glass. Add a jigger of water and stir lightly, top with bourbon whiskey and serve with a straw and topping sprig of mint!
