    Crawfish Etouffee made without Dairy, Gluten, or Soy (Shrimp Option)

    This Louisiana inspired dish was shared with us by Denise Hall from her days writing with Fit Fare. It’s a dairy-free and gluten-free version of crawfish etouffee made without dairy butter or wheat flour. We’ve since updated the recipe with more notes and clarification.

    We’ve added a few tips for adapting this recipe to taste.

    • Denise skips the celery, due to personal taste, but you can add 1/4 cup minced celery with the onion and bell pepper, if preferred.
    • For a richer finish, double the butter alternative to 1/4 cup.
    • If you prefer the thickness of a flour roux, you can omit the starch, but sauté 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour (gluten-free if needed) with the onions, bell pepper, and garlic, for about 2 minutes, before whisking in the water.
    • As noted in the recipe introduction, Denise makes the blond version of this dish, but you can add tomato for the brown version. For more tomato depth, you can also add a tablespoon or two of tomato paste.

    As written, this is a blond etoufee. For the brown (reddish) etouffee, sauté about 1 cup diced tomato into the mixture before adding the water and starch. It is equally delicious!
