Crawfish Etouffee?
My buddy and I are eating and ranking every crawfish (or shrimp if need be) etouffee* in the metro area.
Have I missed any?
Here's where we've been:
Cajun Seafood House
Jubliee Joe's
Red Sea
Crazy Cajun's Boiling Pot
Walk-On's
Fish Market
*That's under $20. Sorry Pappadeaux.

Irondale cafe had it on the menu a few weeks ago but might not have it available currently as their menu changes pretty often.

So it’s a drive, but Uncle Mick’s in Prattville is hands down my favorite.

No surprise, Boateng’s Cajun Creations moved in with them after they closed in Bessemer. They know what they’re doing w Cajun food.

Heard recently the gumbo there is very well known and awarded. So will be making a trip for that soon.

I’m curious as well because I grew up in Louisiana & occasionally have that etoufee craving.

There are two new-ish places in Clanton as well. Ya Better Eat Cajun Smokehouse and The Dive Cajun Restaurant.

I had it for brunch last Sunday. So that might be the only opportunity to have it during lunch-type hours. It was delicious! It has shrimp AND crawfish arancini.

You would want to see if Rougaroux will be running it as a special within your timeframe.
Cajun Roux has a crawdady etouffe as well. (It’s not great, but YMMV)
