Directions:

1

Watch how to make this recipe

2

For the Etouffee: Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter

3

Saute the trinity (peppers, onions and celery)

4

Add the garlic, and saute until slightly tender

5

Add the Roux and deglaze with some rum to help break it down (it will flame up)

6

Add 1 to 2 cups purified water to form a sauce

7

Add in the shrimp, crawfish, pepper, salt and thyme

8

Reduce the flame to a medium-low simmer

9

Add Mama's Green Creole Sauce

10

Stir constantly making sure the roux doesn't burn and is completely dissolved

11

Taste periodically to confirm desired taste

12

Simmer 10 to 20 minutes, until the etoufee reaches desired thickness

13

For Mama's Creole Herb Rice: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

14

Cook the brown rice in 1 cup water, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes

15

Cook the white rice in 1 cup water in a rice steamer

16

After both are cooked, empty the pans onto a cookie sheet

17

Mix the rice and toss with the oil, thyme and salt to taste

18

Drench the etoufee over the rice, and serve

19

Place 2 cups water, the lemon juice, oil, salt, garlic, jalapenos, green onions, yellow onions, bell peppers and parsley in a blender and process until a sauce is formed

20

If the blender is not large enough, you can make it in two batches

21

Yield: about 2 1/2 cups

22

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over low heat

23

Add the flour and stir until mixture is creamy and there are no lumps

24

Turn the heat down low and keep stirring until the mixture reaches the desired color (a medium or dark brown)

25

Be careful and pay attention as not to burn the roux-- after it reaches a certain shade of brown it will begin to brown faster

26

Yield: about 1/2 cup
