I love to cook, but I especially love to cook when cooking with those that I love. # 2 is home for the weekend and we cooked Crawfish Etouffe together for dinner. While # 2 peeled the crawfish, I chopped the veggies. I cooked the roux while he was finishing up and then added the veggies. The last step was adding the crawfish and a little tomato paste. While that simmered we slowly added chicken stock and cooked that down for several minutes. IT WAS DELICIOUS! If you would like the recipe, let me know. Crawfish season has just begun here in LA and will continue until July. I am not fond of crawfish alone, but love them cooked in a dish such as this. We all enjoyed etouffee, salad and french bread. DELICIOUS!
