This is a basic etouffe' and very good. You shouls also add every spice you have in the pantry. My wife combined Justin Wilsons recipe with Pickwick cafeteria in Baton Rouge and used all spices from each and it's a killer recipe. When she finds it again I will post it. She's afraid it was lost in a move to the middle east in 1989. LR Beckwith
