~ Cajun Creole~

I made Cajun Creole tonight.  Here is the original blog from when I first made it.

 

This time I just made it with shrimp though and did not add sausage.

 

 

I also only used about 1/2 cup of water as opposed to a cup and a half so that it was more of a sauce on top of the rice and not something that had to be eaten out of a bowl.  It was good!

 

Plate up!  Get some today!

~ Cajun Gumbo ~

This took a little more prep but man did my kitchen smell like a southern restaurant!!

Come see my Cajun Gumbo!

Ingredients: Cajun Gumbo gourmet cupboard mix, water, cooked meat.

  Add the contents of the package and 6 cups of water.

 Add desired amount of your choice of cooked meant (chicken, seafood or sausage). I chose a pound of shrimp...

 

 And a pound of Italian sausage cut into 1-2 inch pieces 

 Here they are combined and being kept warm while the gumbo broth is boiling. After add the cooked meat, cook for an additional 10 minutes (sorry I thought I took a picture of this but I don't see it)

 Serve over rice.  Nice!!  Hubby liked it too.  Its on the list to 'have again soon' !! Get some for yourself here!

Etoufee (with photos this time)

Last night I made Etoufee and although I posted this a while back I did not have the photos as my husband deleted them by accident.  So before that could happen again, I got all the photos on my blog! :)

This Etoufee dish can be made with shrimp, crawfish or ground sausage.  I like to make it with shrimp as I never see crawfish available at the store anyway and I don't really care for ground sausage.  

Ingredient:  Package of Etoufee (on my website in the Cajun category), 1 lb of your choice of meat (mentioned above), 1/2 cup margarine, 1 chopped celery stalk, water and 8 oz can tomato sauce.  When I went to get the tomato sauce we had none but we did have a jar of Salsa and it worked out splendidly!

Directions: Cook 1 lb of your choice of meat, in a large pot with 1/2 cup margarine and 1 chopped celery stalk  You will see the celery stalk missing here and that is because my husband does not like it. Otherwise it definitely would be in there!

 

 

  Add the mix , 1 1/2 cups water and 1 (8oz) can tomato sauce (in my case I added 1/2 jar of the Salsa)

 Cool on low for 20 minutes.  (meantime I cooked some long grain and wild rice to serve it with.

 Serve over rice.  Here is the finished plate!  Just delicious!
