Poisson Trois (Étouffée)

 

Étouffée.

Even the word sounds kind of magical.  And crawfish (or crayfish... but I refuse to take sides in this particular war!!) is a wondrous seafood that not only combines the best of shrimp and lobster, but also brings its own unique, deep and, yes, kind of mysterious, taste to the party.

And even if you don't live in Louisiana... any good fishmonger with a freezer will have packages of frozen crawfish tails (partially cooked) for sale.  Try this one... it'll make you smile... and not just because of all the beer you're legally required to drink with it!

PS.  Yes, I know they're called mudbugs... best not to think about that...  Click on Bonus Recipes and prepare your palate for bliss!
