If I wasn’t so lazy I would have whipped up some crawfish étouffée solely for the purposes of having something Louisiana-themed to wash down with a bottle Turbodog. The dark brown ale from Abita Brewing Company goes with pretty much anything, but drinking it always makes with wish I had a bowl of étouffée or a $6 po’ boy from Tony’ Seafood in the Red Stick in front of me.
The thing is, I’m nothing if not lazy, so I ended up with cornbread instead. I had just watched a segment on America’s Test Kitchen about cornbread and wanted to try out the recipe anyway.
It doesn’t get me anywhere close to this killer étouffée so I guess I will have to bust out the Dutch oven and make some…soon.
Still – while not exactly a meal – I heartily endorse this combo. Bon temps.
