I made this a couple of months ago. I did exactly what the directions said...until the end. I had to add a little of this and that here and there to get my desired taste. Overall it's a great recipe. Btw, it's way better on baked potatoes with shredded cheese than just plain rice!!!

This was fantastic! Rich and wholesome. I hate spicy foods and I LOVE etouffee so it was great to be able to measure my own amount of cajun seasoning (restaurant etouffee is often too spicy for me). The only change I made was I only cut up half an onion and I put an entire red bell pepper in. Accidentally used a little more butter than needed and so did not use any water, but it turned out so wonderful!

For Kerms, I made the same mistake and it was easily rectified. I made a blonde rue, one cup butter and one cup flour, and then added it to the mixture and some more Tony's and it turned out great. I'm from Louisiana also, and me and my husband loved this recipe, even though I made a mistake. It was quick, easy, and tasted great.

Awesome recipe! WAY more rice than the sauce will cover, but I love it anyway!

This was so delicious.. the only thing I would change is the amount of butter.. it was floating on top when I was done.. and made it a little too rich.. but other than that it was excellent!

I also believe that étouffée should not contain any canned soup. So, I substituted one small fresh tomato for the soup. I only use the tomato "meat." Quarter the tomato and use a cheese grater to extract the meat and leave the skin. Fantastic!!

This is a lovely mild etouffee. I am giving it five stars because it is so easy for beginners and people who might be afraid of "cajun cooking." However, I think it needs more--I added celery and bell pepper to the onion, and extra green onion and cajun spices to the end product. This would be perfect as written for kids along with a ton of butter on their french bread! Eat it, cher!

Delicious. My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed this etouffee. I was unable to find crawfish at my local grocery, so I substituted large shrimp and it was great. I therefore changed the cooking up a bit, I cooked the shrimp in the butter with the onions and the cajun seasoning, then removed the shrimp when just cooked, to add back in just before serving. A+
