Etouffee literally means something like ‘heaped over’ and refers to dishes with lots of sauce. Usually the small Lousiana river crabs are part of this dish. Lobster, armored crab, crawfish tails or crab meat cut into slices is ditto suitable. Crawfish can be substituted for lobster or large uncooked crawfish tails in some Cajun cuisine recipes.

For a poultry etouffee, use chopped chicken instead of lobster.

Tip: Always use aromatic spices to enhance your dishes!
