Shrimp Etouffee

Shrimp Etouffee isn’t just for Fat Tuesday my friends; complex flavors and dinner in 30 minutes means this dish is food good any time of the year. Bonus points, this version avoids the copious amounts of butter oft found in recipes. Feel free to swap out the proteins as you see fit, though if you can find crawfish tails, do so. Let’s cook my healthy Shrimp Etouffee recipe!
