Easy Shrimp Etouffee
"South Louisiana, cajun, flavor
This is a VERY easy recipe. I grew up in south Louisiana and have eaten Shrimp Ettouffe in the finiest restaurants in New Orleans. It is SO good! I made it for my extended family last Christmas at our pot-luck buffet meal and it was the first dish that was gone.
This recipe is delicious served with hot french bread and a salad. It is my husband's favorite meal!
It can be easily be doubled or tripled to feed a large crowd."

This is the best and easiest recipe ever. I didn't have enough Pace but I had a can of tomato bisque soup and added that too it....it was great. Also added some onion and white pepper. Awesome!! -
I really like this recipe for being super easy. My two young children loved this and I used the medium Pace Picante. I served it over quinoa instead of rice. Would love to find a substitute for the stick of butter for health reasons. My husband and I added hot sauce to our plates and everyone was happy. -
I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The feeling I had was "great basic flavor, but I needed MORE" of everything: I used medium PACE picante sauce because I couldn't find HOT anywhere. It definitely needed just a bit more bite. Maybe a few dashes of hot sauce? I also wished I had added more shrimp. I did throw some chives on top and that was good. Needed more of those too! haha For as simple and easy as this one is, I'd try it and next time will doctor it a bit!

I loved to cook but 3 kids keep me busy shuffling them back and forth from their activities. Our family has softball, baseball & soccer practices and games 7 days of each week!
My specialty is cooking while I am not actually in the house - the crock pot, bread machine, and oven that can be programed to go on and off are used every week so my family can walk into the house at 7:30pm to sit down and eat dinner immediatly. Meals are usually prepared on the weekends or while the children are at school because we are not home from 4 - 7pm when most people cook.
