Crawfish Etouffee (Pappadeux Copycat) image

I love crawfish etouffe especially from one of my favorite restaurants, Pappadeux. This recipe came from my cousin who told me it was a copycat recipe from Pappadeux Seafood Kitchen. I personally think that the Tony Chachere's Instant Roux Mix gives it a special flavor that is lacking with just plain cornstarch but if you cannot find it in your area, regular cornstarch is fine. Enjoy!
