Making shrimp etouffee for dinner tonight. Unfortunately, I can't find crawfish tails anywhere in town (I guess it's not THAT surprising), so from now on I'll have to order them.I haven't made an etouffee on a gas stove since I lived with Pablo, Dave and Steve (Jesus, those were the days) with help from Bally. I have found a good recipe that I really like, but this will be my first time making it with shrimp (and probably D's first time having shrimp etouffee).
OK, I was just taking a break after deveining the shrimpies. Now I have to get to cookin! The roux takes about half an hour typically, so I've got my work cut out for me.
As a matter of fact, the last time I made this was for our swinger friends Amy and Daniel before D and I moved here. I perfected the recipe on our electric (yuck) stove in Houston, so this should be even better! Unless proximity to Louisiana has something to do with how well it turns out, in which case, we're fucked. :)

it was delish!
We miss you guys! I just remembered that the last time I made it was the night you told me you were pregnant. I think I might always think of that when I make it now...

Nice! That looks great! I'm drooling. Speaking of babies, I felt baby Sara kicking up a storm last night. Wild! I had my ear to Amy's stomach and 'Bam,' I got kicked in the ear!

No, it wasn't for our dinner party. I forget what I made that time, but it definitely wasn't etouffee.
Wasn't that the party where your mom and Dave got in a fight?

Homemade roux? Bah. This stuff is awesome. I ordered a few jars to have on hand for gumbo.
