Nice work Mn, my gulf coast native neighbors do some supreme southern cooking and this is one of the specialties. I’d try it myself if I didn’t have that luxury.

Always loved La Bambas. Went in there one night drunk and told them I wanted to try their hottest sauce they have. I about died that night 😂 all the cooks and employees came out to watch and were laughing their ass of at my expense.

I didn’t know they had a sauce hotter than what’s on offer but have since learned almost all Mexican places do, even the ones that are more Americanized. About 2:20 on Thursday mornings I would wait in line and always get the super burrito with jalapeños and the hottest salsa they had in the little tubs. I want to say they were around $7 for a super burrito but the jalapeños and sour cream added a little bit. Seemed expensive to me at the time too.

The result later in the day Thursday was always the same after a long night of drinking beer then dumping that super burrito on top of it. Wasn’t hungry all morning, by early afternoon there would be this biting pain mid-abdomen, which by late afternoon became a crescendo of agony as it moved its way down.

Everyone probably knows how the rest goes. No wonder I was diagnosed with diverticulitis before the age of 40.

Ok. I'll ask.
Do they do a crawfish etoufee ?
If so, do you have a preference of crawfish vs shrimp ?
And next time, I'll wake up the andouille on the grill instead of in the skillet. And go with a lighter roux.

They usually go down to the coast every quarter or so and come back with a bunch of fresh shrimp or crawfish or crab. So what they get ahold of is kind of what they do. Did a huge shrimp boil last summer and they’ve done a shrimp and crawfish étouffée in the fall and in between Christmas and New Year’s. Also some gumbo. I preferred the crawfish maybe a bit but it was mostly a textural thing. I couldn’t complain at all about either.

It’s really a type of cooking I’ve never tried or really been exposed to at all other than the stuff people would make from a box of Zatarain’s or whatever. So to have actual people from that area that routinely make it with fresh seafood they bring up from the coast is pretty awesome.

Found pics of the boil and some crab gumbo but no étouffée.

Looks great.
I've only been to crawfish boils, with plywood on saw horses and covered with newspapers. Dump all of the food on the plywood, and dig in.
No Bama football and no tv tho. Lol.

MrsMn said it was good, and I agree. I've never had etouffee tho, so who knows.
It's usually served over rice, but we had corn bread to finish up.

Good start, but you can't read a table cloth. Use sports sections to cover the table next time.
JK, looks good.

Other than the Wagyu, the Mexican beer, the 300F, the 4 hours, and the good God it was delicious; that's what I did.
I used Guinness on a reduced salt corned beef. It was ok.
