I have to say this is the best. A cajun restaurant closed last year and they had the best shrimp etoufee I had ever had. This is identical. I made it for my girlfriends and everyone loved it.

Use your common sense when scaling this recipe for less servings. I scaled to 4 and it didn't seem to differ much from the original recipe for 12. Overall this is a great recipe, I served it over noodles and everyone loved it. Is a keeper!!!

Absolutely fantastic!! I used to make shrimp etoufee from a mix that a friend of mine from Louisiana introduced me too. He said it tasted just like authentic etoufee from "the big easy". Since the Army moved my husband and I to Hawaii, I've been unable to find the mix. I've had a terrible craving for it, so I decided to try to find a recipe. This was as good if not better than the mix, and I was sooo proud of myself for making it from scratch. It really hit the spot...thank you!!

Delicious! I added paprika to the recipe, I just love the flavor of it and I saw the addition of paprika in another recipe on this site. I served over brown rice. Family loved it.

man, this stuff was great -- took a little while and as with most soups and etoufees, it gets better the longer you cook it. it was perfect and pretty easy to cook. congrats to Ronnie B from all of my friends and myself.

I had my inlaws over for a Mardi Gras Dinner and we all loved this dish. I ended up using chicken broth instead of water and also made 1/2 of it with chicken and the other 1/2 shrimp. Both versions turned out great. It goes great over rice. Will definitely be making again in the near future. Thanks for the great recipe.

Made this for a dinner gathering and everyone had seconds! So simple and so delicious! I added more mushrooms and a little fresh parsley.Unlike a lot of seafood dishes that don't taste good reheated, my husband said this etoufee was better the next day! I will make this again! Thanks!

This was a FANTASTIC recipe! I actually added about 1 tsp. more cornstarch and also a diced jalepeno to add more heat as my family enjoys spicy food, but it definitely got rave reviews! It's also one of those dishes that gets better the next day and it reheated very well. My family will be moving to Louisiana next spring and I've been looking for some great cajun recipes - this is one I'll be proud to serve down in "the big easy"!

I made this on a day that it snowed over a foot. After 2 hours of shoveling and digging out I came in and had this, It was the perfect way to warm up. The broth was sweet from the peppers and onions and there was a slight heat from the red pepper. Absolutely fantastic. Will definitely make it again, especially when I want to warm up.
