Paul Prudhomme Crawfish Etouffee Recipe Recipe For Zucchini

NEW CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE

Steps:

• To make the seasoning mix, combine the salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard, black pepper, white pepper and cayenne in a small bowl, and set aside. Preheat a 10-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over high heat for about 4 minutes.
• Place the onions, peppers, celery and two teaspoons of the seasoning mix in the hot skillet. Stir and cook, scraping the bottom of the skillet, about 2 minutes. Stir in the apple juice, scraping bottom of skillet, and cook until the liquid evaporates and a glaze forms, about 7 or 8 minutes.
• Add the browned flour and remaining seasoning mix, and stir until a paste forms. If necessary, add small amounts of stock to moisten the flour. Spread the mixture across the bottom of the skillet and cook until the mixture sticks to the pan, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the stock and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for two minutes, add the crawfish tails, mix well, and return to a full boil, and remove immediately. Serve over rice.

SHRIMP OR CRAWFISH ETOUFFE - PAUL PRUDHOMME

Steps:

• Peel the shrimp or crawfish and use the shells to make a stock.
• Combine onions, celery and bell peppers and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke, about 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in flour, stirring until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly until the roux is dark red-brown, about 3 to 5 minutes, being careful not to let it scorch or splash on your skin. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vegetables and 1 tablespoon of the Seafood Magic with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring until cool, about 5 minutes.
• Bring 2 cups of stock to boil in 2 quart saucepan over high heat. Add the roux by spoonfuls to the boiling stock, stirring until dissolved between each addition. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour taste is gone, about 2 minutes. If any of the mixture scorches, don't continue to scrape that part of the pan bottom. Remove from heat and set aside.
