| There are as many ways to make etouffe as there are gumbos, stews, courtboullion and sauce piquant. This etoufee has a nice combinaton of those dises. The author writes - "It's important to not add the shrimp until the end so they don’t become rubbery". I love the author's comment for the recipe yield...depends how hungry you are, So we are guessing ONE if you are hungry enough. One reminds me of the these fun facts from Recycling Fun Facts - Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
* 350,000 aluminum cans are produced every minute!
* More aluminum goes into beverage cans than any other product.
* Once an aluminum can is recycled, it can be part of a new can within six weeks.
* Because so many of them are recycled, aluminum cans account for less than 1% of the total U.S. waste stream, according to EPA estimates.
* During the time it takes you to read this sentence, 50,000 12-ounce aluminum cans are made.
* An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now!
* There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can can be recycled.
* Aluminum can manufacturers have been making cans lighter -- in 1972 each pound of aluminum produced 22 cans; today it yields 29 cans.

Not yet rated | | We were excited to get this recipe. How nice to put the gumbo to cook in a crockpot before leaving for work or shopping and come home from work and have gumbo ready to eat. Great for Working America - Working Cajuns! This gumbo can be served as a side to a main dish or can be the main dish!
| | Crab & Shrimp in a Light Red Sauce. Delicious!!
My pregnant daughter wanted Crab & Shrimp Sauce, I had to make it for her, we don't want to "Mark the Baby". "Mark the Baby" is a Cajun folklore that if the expectant mother does not get what she craves to eat; that hunger craving pain will transfer itself to a physical birthmark on the baby. Another popular wives tale is that if a mother-to-be has significant heartburn the baby will be born with a full head of hair. | |
| | From Wikipedia: The word "lasagna" is derived from the Greek word "lasanon" meaning chamber pot. The word was later borrowed by the Romans as "lasanum" to mean cooking pot. The Italians then used the word to refer to the dish in which what is now known as lasagna is made. The word lasagna or lasagne (plural) now simply applies to the food itself. Most English-speaking people follow the Italian usage and use the plural "lasagne" to refer to both the dish and the pasta, but Americans commonly use the singular "lasagna". Various recipes call for several kinds of cheese, most often ricotta and mozzarella. The classic Lasagne alla Bolognese uses only Parmigiano Reggiano. Many recipes also add bechamel sauce (besciamella). A variant is Lasagne verde (green lasagne) which is the normal egg pasta with spinach added. Other variations include vegetarian or seafood versions of the dish. - This Cajun has added her own variation to the mix! Quick and Easy for that Cajun Working Woman -

Fun Facts About Fish - If you keep a goldfish in the dark room, it will eventually turn white.
Fish don't have ears. They hear or feel vibrations along the lateral line of their bodies. Fish that live more than 800 meters below the ocean surface don't have eyes.
A jellyfish is 95% water. One type of jellyfish has tentacles that can grow up to 100 feet long.
The squid and the octopus each have 2 gills, 2 kidneys, and 3 hearts. Isn't the sea slug clever! It really has no defenses of its own, so it borrows weapons from other creatures. For example, it actually manages to swallow the jellyfish's sting cells, which then find their way to the sea slug's skin. Once there the slug uses them as if they were its own. (Compliments of AlphaArs) Seals seldom sleep. In fact they have been known to swim continuously for eight months and travel 10,000 kilometers. (Submitted by Bubba) Some sharks have a bad attitude even before they're born. While examining a pregnant sand tiger shark, scientist Stewart Springer was bitten by its embryo. (Submitted by SandyD)
During a lifetime a tiger shark will produce, use and then shed some 24,000 teeth.(
