Easy Crawfish Ettoufee
"I've been using this recipe for years and have found ways to refine it and make it even simpler without sacrificing taste. BTW, can also be made with shrimp rather than crawfish. Can easily be doubled or halved depending on the number being served."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in the "boonies" and love to entertain family and friends. I have one son, 24, who is unmarried and still comes home as often as he can for some of Mom's cooking! My husband is retired. I can't retire from my teaching career for at least 6 more years, but I'm looking forward to travelling when I do. I have three devilish cats and a shy red hound. I like creating veggie casseroles, as long as I can drown them in cheese! My family and friends are always requesting that I make my shrimp and sausage gumbo for them.
