About Etoufe
Étouffée is a rich, flavorful dish originating from Cajun and Creole cuisine in Louisiana. Its name translates to “smothered” in French, reflecting its traditional preparation where seafood or chicken is simmered in a thick, butter-based roux along with a blend of onions, celery, and bell peppers known as the "holy trinity." The dish is seasoned with bold spices like paprika, cayenne, and thyme for a deep, aromatic profile. Étouffée is often served over fluffy white rice, making it hearty and satisfying. While it provides a good source of protein from shrimp or chicken, the butter-heavy roux and sodium content from seasonings can make it high in fat and calories. Opting for a lighter roux with olive oil or whole-grain rice can enhance its nutritional value without sacrificing its classic taste.
