Directions
Comfort Shrimp Etouffee, Our family Shrimp Etouffee recipe. Adapted from many different recipes to suit our own tastes. This one is spicy and delicious, a dark Etoufee, not a pale imitation!, I first had Shrimp touffe in New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year 2014 and really liked it. This recipe is very authentic and tasted quite similar to the dish I had ordered in a restaurant. used Guinness for the beer and substituted vegetable stock because I was out of chicken stock but it still turned out both delicious and authentic tasting. I would make it again.
