Shrimp Etouffee — Juicy shrimp dish covered in rich and tasty roux sauce made with rich bona fide southern flavors and an unbelievably heavenly taste. Simple formula with enormous intense flavors!!!

I thoroughly acknowledge simple, snappy and delicious dinners. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you need to put something energizing on your eating table, this Shrimp Etouffee is a decent spot to begin.

ou are most likely reasoning, what on earth is étouffée? (I adore the manner in which it sounds , Soo French).

Étouffée is a French expression for "cover" or choke from the action word etouffée, French elocution : [e.tu.fe], English:/AY-too-FAY). No doubt, I know, you are not here for French 101. So I'll say goodbye to this and return to what you adore .
