Method

Shrimp & Crawfish Etouffee

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

    Stir in minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in chicken broth and add cajun seasoning. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    Add shrimp and crawfish tails to the simmering mixture. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and pink.

  5. 5

    Season and Garnish

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.

Grits

  1. 6

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in grits and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until thickened.

  2. 7

    Add Butter and Cheese

    Once the grits are fully cooked, stir in butter and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt.

Scrambled Eggs

  1. 8

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 9

    Cook the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir occasionally until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your desired consistency.
