Pat's Crawfish EtouffeeÉtouffée (pronounced ay-too-fay) is a French term meaning to smother, which refers to the cooking technique where meat is cooked down with onions and commonly served over rice. Crawfish is probably the most popular type of etouffee, but etouffee can also be made with shrimp, chicken or any kind of meat you desire. Crawfish are freshwater crustaceans found in swamps, ponds and marshes. Louisiana leads the nation commercial crawfishing, producing more than 90% of the domestic crop. The total economic impact on the Louisiana economy exceeds $120 million annually, and more than 7,000 people depend directly or indirectly on the crawfish industry. Get recipe here |
