Spicy And Savory Fish And Seafood Etouffee Recipes

SPICY AND SAVORY FISH AND SEAFOOD ETOUFFEE

Steps:

• Over medium heat melt 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of oil in a 12in non-stick skillet. Season both sides of fish fillets with seasoning and red pepper. Place 4 fillets in skillet and cook about 3-5 min per side until golden brown.
• Repeat with another 1 Tbsp butter, 1 Tbsp oil, and remaining 4 fish. While fish is cooking, dice onion, green pepper, and celery. Mince garlic.
• Once all fish is cooked, cover with a piece of aluminum foil to keep warm. Add remaining butter, oil, onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook for about 3min and move to edges of skillet. Add mushrooms and garlic to center of skillet, cook about 2-3 minute.
• Add broth, milk, shrimp and diced crab meat. Increase heat to medium high. Once it begins to boil, gradually add flour while constantly stirring to remove lumps. (Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.) Serve over fish and possibly rice.
• *I also added more seasoning and pepper to sauce. I really enjoyed it!

SEAFOOD ETOUFFEE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Then add the onion, peppers, celery, and tomatoes. Saute until they begin to sweat, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and shallots, then all of the seafood and sausage, and stir. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the chili sauce, salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir to make sure all ingredients are evenly combined. Serve "family style" in a large bowl.

SEAFOOD ETOUFFEE

Steps:

• In large, heavy pan melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 20 to 25 minutes or until a dark reddish-brown roux is formed.
• Stir in the undrained tomatoes and chilies, water, sliced carrot and celery, chopped onion and green peppers, basil, salt, minimum amount of cayenne (can always be adjusted up later), and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes until vegetables are tender. Adjust the hotness with additional cayenne if desired. (Can be prepared to this point with the vegetables undercooked, then refrigerated to be reheated and completed right before serving).
• With the stew simmering, add the shrimp and crabmeat and simmer uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
• Serve in bowls with stew on the bottom and a mound of rice atop. Serve with a crusty French bread.

CAJUN CRAWFISH AND SHRIMP ÉTOUFFéE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns 'peanut butter' brown or darker, at least 15 or 20 minutes. I use a large fork with the flat side to the bottom of the pan in a side to side motion. This is your base sauce or 'roux'. It is very important to stir this constantly. If by chance the roux burns, discard and start over.
• Once the roux is browned, add the onions, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the skillet, and saute for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and fish stock, and season with the seafood seasoning. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Season the sauce with hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper (if using), and add the crawfish and shrimp. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.
