Shrimp Etoufee

I simply love Shrimp! Living here along the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp is just as common on our table as Chicken and Beef or that bottle of ketchup. This Recipe was my Mom’s. She was always a whiz in the kitchen especially where Cajun Cuisine was concerned and I loved learning to cook and listening to stories about our Cajun heritage. So this dish just says home to me. No matter where life takes me I will always consider it a “Home Cooked Meal”. Just follow the link below for the Recipe and Enjoy!!
