Shrimp Etoufee





Another Cajun recipe that I tried. My husband had this at a seafood restaurant and really liked it, so I wanted to see if we could make it at home. Fairly easy to make! You can serve this over rice.

My modifications:
Cooked this over a stove instead of in the microwave.
Also added some Zatarain's Creole seasoning on top
