CRAWFISH PATRICK



Crawfish Patrick image

This is an old recipe from Uglesich's in New Orleans. I got the recipe from the T.P. years ago. Its a faster alternative to doing an étouffée in case you are short on time. Great with rice or pasta, also as my own twist I usually add a half pound of chopped tasso when I brown the celery and onions, just to give the dish a little extra meat.

LOUISIANA CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE



Louisiana Crawfish Etouffee image

Here in Louisiana, there's nothing better than this classic during crawfish season. This recipe is easy and can be substituted with shrimp when crawfish are out of season. Even better when served with hot garlic French bread! Start cooking the rice first since this is a quick and easy dish.
