Thank you so much for the pics, beautiful outcome! We always cook the trinity down, separate from the roux, just a preference. The traditional way seems to be to cook the veggies and then "make a roux" with them. Unorthodox in my upbringing. Gorgeous etouffee, enjoy and Happy 2024, to all!

Just curious, what kind of stock did you use and how much?

I was always taught to simmer the stock/roux for about 30 minutes and then add the crawfish, heating it on the fire for no more than about 5 minutes without really bringing to a simmer again. Then turn the heat off and let it sit 15-20 minutes. My dad and grandparents always claimed the crawfish would be rubbery and chewy if you cooked them too long.

They shrink up on too much cooking...5 to 10 minutes is all one should cook the dish after adding the crawfish.

I followed Cajun Ninja's version last night with a few changes. I put green onions and fresh parsley in with the other vegetables to saute and then also used both as a garnish. I didn't have seafood stock and he uses water in his, so I did the same. I was concerned about flavor, but the crawfish were good and juicy. I switched up the seasonings a bit. Turned out delicious!

It is a nice pot. Screw those me metal knobs for the lids. I have a staub one with a metal knob and burn the crap out of my hand every so often. I prefer the nylon knob that is on my other Dutch ovens.

Fantastic looking dinner and write up.

I have a Enamel Dutch oven with a metal knob and when I use it, I just leave a pot holder on top so I don’t ever forget

Making an etouffee for NYE for my wife’s dad and brothers. I’ll bring a couple pounds of crawfish and supplement with shrimp if necessary. Looking forward to it.

Such a good dish and seems pretty simple but timing is everything with roux, veggies and crawfish. Looks great!
