I must confess, I was initially disappointed that Emeril himself would not be preparing the dish but Chef Avelar quickly won me over. His instruction was clear, concise, and without pretense. He assembled and presented the dish with a calm confidence in his subject. The videography was also attentive and excellent. Nice job.

The young man was real good. Emeril was an outstanding teacher also before he got in front of an audience. Once you get the roux right, the dish is easy.

Okay, it's not authentic. To my palate, it looks really good. Most of us outside Louisiana would use that pre-cooked package of crawfish - and they are semi-expensive. I would not cook them too long lest they get tough. Secondly, that is an Emeril enameled pot which really holds heat. You have to take care not to overcook. Getting pedantic about Justin Wilson is silly.

Everyone is mentioning how relaxed this chef is, which is true. It's one of the things I liked about the video. It reminds me of the old "Great Chefs" series I used to watch on PBS after school (yes, I was that big of a food geek at 12). No hype, no catchphrases, no silly puns; just clear, cogent instruction.

@josephgiustiniani2834 Жыл бұрын

Tony, that is what it reminded me of. I was waiting for Charlie Byrd to start playing the guitar music.{RIP Charlie}. I watched and learned a bunch from that show. Emeril was on that series and I believe was a launching pad for him as far as TV... They took you into the ""real"" kitchens, with other cooks working in the background.

Chef Wilfredo, wonderful job! It's 4:30 in the morning here in Utah but my Louisiana bayou roots are calling me home! The smell of onions and bell peppers cooking in the roux is so aromatic! Reminds me of my grandma Ruth cooking every afternoon. Homemade root beer with lemon slices, buttered bread, white rice and whatever her meat of choice cooked in the roux. Nothing better in this world! The west has nothing on the southeast. Nothing! The humidity helps make the best bread for Po boys in the world! See how hungry you got me Chef Wilfredo? lol

Add the flour and stir continuously to make a roux. Stir the roux over medium heat until the color of peanut butter, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic to the roux, and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pot and season with the bay leaves, salt, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon Essence. Cook the tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes and then whisk in the Shrimp Stock.  * Bring the pot to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook the etouffée, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Season the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon Essence and add them to the pot, stirring to evenly distribute. Cook the shrimp for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Add the chopped parsley to the pot and stir to combine. Serve the etouffée with steamed white rice. Garnish with the green onion tops.

I literally just made this, not having made nor eaten since I lived in Cajun Country 40+ yrs ago. I'm planning 7 Fishes Xmas dinner so I thought this might be a nice addition. I followed the typed up version of the recipe here pretty closely: halved the tomatoes, third more "trinity", 2 cups homemade chicken broth, 1 TBL Tony Chachere's version of Cajun seasoning/Essence. I wish I had added 1-2 tsp Ital. herbs as I felt this could have used more flavor. Added no salt: there's enough in Seasoned Mix for me. Rice recipe is exactly as I do it. This chef uses Bieber Farms crayfish, other chefs I reviewed used Boudreau, Louisiana Select or Riceland when I could identify the package brands. I went to Walmart and they had Boudreau for $10. 12/12 oz and Riceland for$12.98/12 oz. 12 oz is adequate for 4-6 decent servings. I bought one package of each and used Riceland this time out. You want to buy Louisiana rather than Chinese tails, I would think, and if you have a Walmart's, see if they have as will be considerably less than shipping 5# as Amazon does. Bon appetit et laissez les bonnes temps roullez!
