This is exactly how my mom has made etoufee for years and how I cook it today. It's the real deal! It's the simplicity in the ingredients that makes the fabulous crawfish flavor come out. And I am too an "honest to goodness cajun gal". By the way, my father is from Gueydan, La!!!!! I gave this a 5 star rating but only showed 2 stars!! I'd give it 10 if I could!

<p>I'm an attorney by education and a court reporter by current employment (love my job!). A couple of years ago, we had the opportunity to relocate to my home state of Louisiana, and I am happy happy happy to be here! I've been cooking since I was old enough to see the top of the stove - my mother was a home economics teacher, and she believed in starting me off early. I work full-time, I'm a Scentsy consultant, and I dream of getting my little bath goodie business up and running.</p>
