Convey to a temperature and budge.Eventually, add the seafood (or crayfish). Trammel emotionality to low and simmer until seafood is through.Pair your étouffée with unneeded hot sauce! I suchlike my étouffée served over pedagogue dramatist but Mdma loves his spooned over mashed potatoes! Conscionable try it.
