I did exactly what Charlie said do and followed his recipe to the tee and *table thump* it came out perfect! This was my first time “cooking” and people at work actually asked for seconds!! Do exactly what he says and I promise it will come out right. Thank you Charlie!

Now Charlie...You know I've been a big fan of yours for years! But what is it with the blue rubber gloves? I don't wear rubber gloves in my kitchen! haha! If somebody doesn't want to eat my food prepared with my bare / washed hands they can go to Popeye's for supper! There will just be more swrimp etouffe' for me... I make mine like you make yours except that I cook my onions alone until they are caramelized ( brown ) and then I sweat the bell pepper, celery, and garlic. THEN I add them to the roux and then I add the swrimp stock to the roux and cook that for a while until it is thickened a little and THEN I add the shrimp. Make ya stand up and sass yo mama! I also use black and white pepper in mine...and a dash of dried thyme. Keep up the good work, buddy! Love your videos!!!!!!!

[@rwatts2155]

Haha! Charlie...if there's a germ on earth that will survive 325^ F for 30 minutes and then boiled for 20 tl 30 minutes we're ALL in trouble! LOL! Seriously, though, I really enjoy your videos and I have a great deal of respect for your talent and your personality on camera. I lived in NO for 7 years ( probably before you were a twinkly in your daddy's eye ) and learned to cook that world famous cajun and creole cuisine from my cajun wife's parents. Ain't no food on earth better than New Orleans Cajun cooking! I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing them with all of us.

[@darrelmiller8432]

Mr. Andrews, My wife and I made this dish, down to the french bread, and it was a success. Two of our sons dined with us and gave the etouffee their approval as well. Also, I learned how little tails 4-lbs of boiled crawfish yield during early crawfish season. So I made one modification to your recipe by adding adding a pound of store-bought tails to the dish. Also, I'm sure the stock made using that 4-lbs of boiled crawfish only enhanced the final product. Thanks again for your recipe, sir.

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Hello there! I am happy to hear that the Shrimp etouffee turned out wonderfully and everyone enjoyed it. I also like how you added the crawfish tails to the dish as well. Very nice!! Thanks so much for leaving feedback!

[@ekimfehc]

The way you cooked that rice...made me tilt my head to the side for a minute. I never seen anyone cook rice like it was pasta. Smh lol

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

@ Mike yeah I know it's different but it works for me. The perfect rice every time! Not one complaint! :)

[@latessadenise6620]

[@missjhia]

[@francis234]

Looked so delicious and best of all now I can make it! Thanks! I subscribed.

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Thanks a lot for the compliments and for subscribing!

[@sailoryaoli]

This was so good! Thanks for making it easy to follow and breaking down the steps. Really appreciated that you used the heads and shells to make a super delicious shrimp stock rather than using chicken stock that I see in other recipes!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

You're welcome, not a problem. I appreciate the compliments as well. Thanks so much! 🙂

[@niquesmile21]

[@mcllwainstephens-devereaux6589]

Love the detailed instructions. This tutorial is great for beginners!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

I appreciate the compliments. Thanks!

[@richardwinsett6549]

Charlie, can I use the extra shrimp stock that I made in your shrimp & grits for this? Man I'm telling you that Shrimp & grits was great. I live in central Alabama and the shrimp cost was off the roof...............

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Yes you sure can. Yes it is a good recipe. The shrimp could be costly outside of Louisiana.

[@hispurposeforme4067]

I made this just now for dinner. I have a picky eater and she had two bowls of this. My other son is on his 2nd bowl now. If I don't hurry up and fix me some I just may miss out on this one. Charlie, thanks for the recipe's I have not had one come out with a disappointment. Always full of flavor and very delicious!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Wow! I am happy that you all enjoyed the Shrimp Etouffee! No a problem! Glad I was able to help! Thanks for leaving feedback!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

You're welcome, not a problem. Happy to hear that the Shrimp etouffee was successful and that you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving feedback!!

[@Stressfree67]

Gone ahead and go hard and combine the shrimp and crawfish. OOOOweee!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Stressfree67 That is a good idea. I already have it written down on paper! lol

[@Stressfree67]

Alright then. great minds think alike.

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Stressfree67 Yes you are right about that!

[@TKOCHAE]

OMG. This looks so delicious Mr Charlie Andrews. I love your accent,

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

I appreciate the compliments. Thank you!

[@elijaholiverii7809]

never seen rice cooked like this.

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Really??? Cool! I really like this method! The rice is Par-boiled, rinsed, then added back into the strainer. From there the rice absorbs the water. It works for me! Love it!

[@scottyplug]

I agree. Never, ever seen rice cooked this way. And then rinsed?!? No way man. I KNOW your momma didn't teach you to cook rice like this! Otherwise, the recipe looks amazing. And your crawfish etouffee looks even better! Subbed.

[@nveazie]

Ha...I use to do it like this but got lazy

[@50SBarb]

My mother always cooked it this way, and rinsed it to get some of the starch off.

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

I learned how to cook rice by watching my grandmother! From there I took it an ran with it. I love it! ;) lol Thanks so much for the compliments much appreciated!

[@allencurtis1529]

It's about time to make some again. Last time I made Etouffee was about 4 years ago when I still lived in Phoenix. I'm back to my hometown of Cleveland, Oh. and it's the middle of winter. Etouffee will certainly warm me up!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

Wow, that's awesome and good to hear. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for sharing!

[@kobiecabral634]

Facial expressions don't lie

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

I know right lol Thanks!

[@harleyhexxe9806]

I've looked at a lot of Etouffee recipes on here, but I'd rather follow one from someone who comes from where the best Creole and Cajun recipes are made. Thank you for posting!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

That is good to hear Harley!! I appreciate the compliments. Thank you!

[@karencas7174]

I want to slap you Charlie! :) why don't you be my next door neighbor? My my my...that looks so delish!

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

If you were my next door neighbor i would be in serious trouble right now. I'll be worried to death about you slapping me lol jk Thanks for the compliments!

[@goh8914]

Amazing recipe I just made this for my family. Stay blessed Charlie!
