Kay's Seafood Etoufee image

We all love seafood at my house! I wanted a very good etouffee fit for a king-- or queen, for that matter. Seems as though I'd try one and like certain tastes about it and then another and the same story went on... For example, one recipe was too fattening. Another recipe was not appealing to the eye, yet it had a good flavor. I set out to find a really good seafood etouffee and finally created my own. (I think it is very delicious and satisfying in all respects you'd expect from a seafood etouffee. If you have a really good recipe similar to this one, send it to me for a try. I'd love to try yours too.) I recommend this 'special' dish for a large crowd along with rice and a Caesar Salad. You wont go wrong serving this dish. I assure you!
