I hardly think you can call a recipe a classic if you are using cornstarch instead of making a dark roux. you should read up about this great classic recipe? -
Being from South Louisiana, this ettoufee is not a classic creole/cajun dish. ettouffee does not use tomoto paste, chicken broth or cornstarch. It uses roux. The redish color comes from the crawish fat on the tails and the roux mix. -
I think perhaps a roux and some spices would have helped this dish. It tasted good, but was a little bland. It smelled great while cooking, and looked nice too, just needs to be kicked up a notch!

New Orleans, LA
About me, well I am a New Orleanian who loves everything about this city: Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras, and last but not least the seafood.
I am also an entrepreneur, so 2 years ago I had the idea of providing the best that New Orleans has to offer over the internet.
We started with www.MardiGrasStore.com so you can have a Mardi Gras Party anywhere in the world, anytime! Beads, King Cakes, Masks... the list goes on; however, there was one part that was missing, seafood. So last fall we create www.BigEasySeafood.com bringing fresh seafood and prepared foods to your doorstep. I wanted to share some of the recipes we have gathered with you that are traditionally New Orleans. Enjoy!
Oh, by the way, thats me front right with our 1985 caddi limo Mardi Gras mobile!
