Etouffee is a Cajun classic and It reminds me of the end of summer, when the local music festival arrives and my favorite food truck serves it up. There are tons of recipes out there and they all vary widely. Alas, no festival this year, so I'll have to make it myself. Here's a recipe that is similar to mine, except I add tomatoes, lots of hot peppers and use brown rice. Mine is also a little thicker than what is pictured.

It's important to brown the roux so it has a yummy, nutty smell to it....ummmm. Stir it constantly, or it will burn.
