I must confess, I was initially disappointed that Emeril himself would not be preparing the dish but Chef Avelar quickly won me over. His instruction was clear, concise, and without pretense. He assembled and presented the dish with a calm confidence in his subject. The videography was also attentive and excellent. Nice job.
I couldn't agree more.
@Harambe Was Framed chef Avlers a pretty chill dude got the chance to work with him a few times in N.O.
I feel like he killed himself immediately after this video , the dish looks so good and he seems to not care at all. I personally prefer someone more enthusiastic. This guy seems pissed to be making this video
@@albertmonroy7143 Actually, Wil Avelar got pretty high up in Emeril’s organization before he left recently to cook with his family.
I think there's an episode with him and Julia Child, and in the first segment Emeril makes an etouffee.
this guy has a very pleasant chill presence, refreshingly calm after all the hyped up TV personalities ☺️
I completely agree, very enjoyable.
I enjoyed this video. It was clear and consice and let me know all the steps, and what to look for. I appreciated his chill attitude. As a lot of people on youtube are a bit over the top, and leave out important information.
this guy: here is the receipe in chill instruction
Other ytbers: SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON HIT SUBSCRIBE I KNOW IM LATE POSTING THIS VIDEO OMG MY HAIR NOT COOPERATING TODAY YOU EVER HAVE A BAD HAIRDAY? TELL ME ABOUT IT IN THE COMMENTS
God I couldn’t agree more, I’m so sick of these CZcams cooks on meth screaming about how “they’re so sorry that they’ve been late getting a video up” as if they have thousands of viewers who wait in rapt attention on their every word and then begging for us to smash the like button and subscribing!!!
Watch Julia Child, and the countless tv chefs who learned from her, for the correct formula.
This kind of reply is so funny coming from the Emeril CZcams channel. Emeril WAS over the top and had a huge personality. That's why everyone liked him.
So chill, he didn't let us know any MEASUREMENTS.
Everyone is mentioning how relaxed this chef is, which is true. It's one of the things I liked about the video. It reminds me of the old "Great Chefs" series I used to watch on PBS after school (yes, I was that big of a food geek at 12). No hype, no catchphrases, no silly puns; just clear, cogent instruction.
Tony, that is what it reminded me of. I was waiting for Charlie Byrd to start playing the guitar music.{RIP Charlie}. I watched and learned a bunch from that show. Emeril was on that series and I believe was a launching pad for him as far as TV... They took you into the ""real"" kitchens, with other cooks working in the background.
No hype, no catchphrases, no silly puns, no MEASUREMENTS. Just how much crawfish tail did he squeeze out of that bag?
This chef is a great demonstrator. No bullshit, no showboating. Just clear, concise and professional. I hope he doesn't ruin everything with the usual catchphrases and mania like most of the others.
ZAM!!! BLAM!!! HIPPITYSKIPPITYJUJUJOOKAHHHH! PUTANOTHERBUDINTHEHOOKAH!!!
Assnballsify yeah I have to agree. Very detailed, exactly what I expect while being trained.
He sounds almost pissed off that he has to do the video.
I've made this several times, it's my family's absolute favorite. Thank you!
Chef Wilfredo, wonderful job! It's 4:30 in the morning here in Utah but my Louisiana bayou roots are calling me home! The smell of onions and bell peppers cooking in the roux is so aromatic! Reminds me of my grandma Ruth cooking every afternoon. Homemade root beer with lemon slices, buttered bread, white rice and whatever her meat of choice cooked in the roux. Nothing better in this world! The west has nothing on the southeast. Nothing! The humidity helps make the best bread for Po boys in the world!
See how hungry you got me Chef Wilfredo? lol
That’s what Frontier and Allegiant Airlines are for. I live in Cincinnati and whenever I need my Gulf Coast and Las Vegas Fix, I fly nonstop to New Orleans and Las Vegas dirt cheap😂.
Emeril Lagasse....if you've eaten at his restaurant in New Orleans....you know who is #1. And watching him every day on TV was the best part of my day way back then. I learned to love cooking because of Emeril Legasse. Lots of people will say the same thing.
Absolutely world class video production. Presenter was clear, concise, and no nonsense. Camera work outstanding. Perfect. Thank you.
Agreed, this guy was super cool and great with instruction. I could watch videos like this all weekend long.
The young man was real good. Emeril was an outstanding teacher also before he got in front of an audience. Once you get the roux right, the dish is easy.
Okay, it's not authentic. To my palate, it looks really good. Most of us outside Louisiana would use that pre-cooked package of crawfish - and they are semi-expensive. I would not cook them too long lest they get tough. Secondly, that is an Emeril enameled pot which really holds heat. You have to take care not to overcook. Getting pedantic about Justin Wilson is silly.
I'm sorry to disagree, but it would be nice to see the presenter prep the crawfish, and provide the alternative bag option.
Too bad he’s not that good at making it.
I could watch and listen to this guy cook ANYTHING! I've made this dish. It's spectacular.
Thank you Wilfredo I'm making this today. I looked at alot of recipes but yours was the best gracias...
Im literally making this dish right now and HOLY ISH I'm following this chef word for word and i can't believe it! I'm literally making etoufee like im from Nawleans😳 im from Texas and i could always cook southern style but this is going to take my cooking next level! The only difference is I don't think I allowed my roux to caramelize as brown so it has a more reddish orangish tinge but the TASTE! I'm serious THANK YOU!
Hey Emeril!, I swear the young man that made the crawfish etouffee recipe, remind me of a young you, when you were cooking for "Great Chefs"
I’ve lived in south Louisiana my whole life, and this is one of my favorite foods. Grew up with my mom cooking it. Great video.
this guys pretty chill, this was a nice relaxed video. love it.
That's the same way I feel like. Easy to understand
Prolly smoked a fat bleezy before
looks very warm and hearty,with a touch of decadence.thank you for sharing.
I've always used the etouffee' recipe from Don's Seafood and Steak House, which doesn't have a roux in it. It is thickened with cornstarch slurry. It's just a matter of what you like, but it's interesting to see how you make your etouffee'. Thank you so much for letting us see how you cook.
Love the incredible detail in this clear concise video!
We made it and it came out AMAZING!! Thank you for the video!
This Chef was confident and precise. Let’s get to cooking, but I enjoyed the French History lesson too.
Absolutely best explanation of Trinity, Mirepoix and Sofrito - most cooking shows always make it sound so complicated !!
As a lifelong learner, I greatly appreciate this video and his explanations and additional little bits of info
Thank you SO MUCH
I've made this twice already in one week. Fixin to go to store and get things I need to make more. It's delicious.
I literally just finished making this. I used shrimp rather than crawfish, and it is fantastico! Spicy enough, and the flavor is amazing!!
wonderful way to explain and show this recipe. Thanks.
Ignore the haters. Great video, very informative.
I still rely on this recipe TODAY! Thank you so much!
WOW, what a great how to video, Will Avelar. Easy to follow, this is a dish that has always fascinated me! P.S. thanks for the correct pronunciation of this flavourful dish. Thank you sharing Emeril!
Very knowledgeable chef. I wanted to learn an authentic southern recipe and he is easy to learn from.
I've never made mine like that but I'm definitely going to have to try this one. Thanks!!
Excellent video - very clear and easy to follow. I'm making this for dinner tonight!! Thank you
Absolutely agree if it's not Louisiana crawfish meat it just doesn't taste right. This looks delicious
Chinese trinity is garlic, ginger and onions
KIKJJK
kenny Roberts green onions, to be precise.
Or Shallots, chives
kenny Roberts Greek trinity is onion garlic and oregano
i really don't know why garlic is not a part of Louisiana's version it seems like every time i use it, garlic is added.
"Make this etouffe....or don't. It makes no difference in the end. Life is pain...end my suffering"
😂😂
In the words of the legendary British chef Marco Pierre White: “It’s your choice, really.”
Mr. Personality is a Louisiana chef, come to find out.
@@ryanslauderdaleI've eaten at his restaurants in London. Fantastic 😊
What a great video. You are five star. Thanks for taking the time to teach your art. I’m subscribing
This recipe is awesome! I changed up the meat by folding in a sautéed seafood blend including crab meet. Absolutely delicious. Thank you @Reem for the detailed recipe. On a side note the Chef is handsome! LOL
Made this dish tonight. WOW, was it good!! Thank you for posting this!
This guy is great. Explains alot along the way.
What a teacher , very informative
Ever heard of oyster dressing ?
Real old Cajun dish.
Ground meat, oysters, sweet potato, onion, bell pepper and shallots and seasoned real well. Will knock your socks off 👍
You're so calm with a soothing voice
It's like cooking with K Billy and the super sounds of the 70's. great dish BTW.
clear easy to follow looks goooood
Beautiful dish!
That looks great, with whatever meat one chooses. I will try this.
Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to try this, I know it has to taste great, your video is impressive.
I like this gentleman's composed style of cooking #MASTERFUL!
omg wonnerful ! an amzing explanation on how to make this dish !
Easy to follow for an ammeter cook like me. I loved this recipe so much thank you,
Just made this. So very good... just as good as restaurant etoufee.
Thank you for your Simplicity! Going to try it!
Nice presentation. Thank you.
great demonstration. the Cajuns of Acadiana don't often use tomatoes in their etouffee, thats a creole thing you mostly see in restaurants around New Orleans. I like it without tomatoes myself. I would say Chef Wilfredo's technique here is spot on. with or without the tomatoes
Sofar the best recipie of this type i have found on youtube. Thanks for sharing and keep em comming :)
Also on a personal note. I love that you do not have any fakesmiles or any dipshit elevator music playing in the background, while maintaining a professional informative monolog about the recepie and the technics used for it!
I agree 😁👏👍
I’m gonna have to make some for dinner tonight, it looks absolutely delicious
I like the chef so relaxed
YUM!! Love me some Etouffee! :)
Chef Avelar is great! Going to try this
This recipe is amazing. I cooked the roux after sautéing the trinity. I used one pack of the Louisiana crawfish and sauteed some shrimp then added those last minute.
You must not have watched the same video that I watched. The chef cooked his trinity w/the roux. Chef only used about a 1/3 of a pack of crawfish.That's weak af!!!(restaurant style). Then you added shrimp? You didn't follow the recipe, yet you claim it's "amazing". All criticism of your review aside...I would rather eat your etouffee than his. Shrimp and a bunch of crawfish. Nice!
Delicious!! Thanks foe sharing!!!
This is art thanks
Excellent recipe! Made it today and my family loved it! Thank you!
Looks delicious!
Man I'm hungry!! Great video
love the video, best one I've seen for this dish. Where can I find your exact measurements for the ingredients? I want to make this dish as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing.
Melissa Castillo * 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 4 cups chopped onions
* 2 cups chopped green bell peppers
* 2 cups chopped celery
* 2 tablespoons minced garlic
* One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
* 2 bay leaves
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 2 tablespoons Emeril's Original Essence
* 1 quart Shrimp Stock
* 3 pounds medium shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), peeled and deveined
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* Steamed white rice, for serving
* 1/2 cup thinly sliced tender green onion tops, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
* In a large Dutch oven set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir continuously to make a roux. Stir the roux over medium heat until the color of peanut butter, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic to the roux, and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pot and season with the bay leaves, salt, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon Essence. Cook the tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes and then whisk in the Shrimp Stock.
* Bring the pot to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook the etouffée, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Season the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon Essence and add them to the pot, stirring to evenly distribute. Cook the shrimp for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Add the chopped parsley to the pot and stir to combine. Serve the etouffée with steamed white rice. Garnish with the green onion tops.
So delicious! Best etouffee ever!
I swear to god, the chef is having the meanist hangovers when he did this video :D
Someone tell him to calm down!! His energy is freaking me out.
😂😂😂
bwhit417 😂😂😂😂
Hard to believe it’s he same guy!
He’s the reason why I no longer need sleeping pills!😂
I used his simple instructions, and my dish tasted amazing. You definitely must season to taste adding your own Cajun seasonings and chef Cajun’s Hot sauce. Living in New Orleans truly helps me find all ingredients at my local market Zuppardo’s or Breaux Mart. #ILoveLouisiana
His demeanor is so calming
Great video, and nice mise and organized kitchen.
My neighbor made what I thought was fantastic crawfish gumbo back in the 70's, and I've been looking forever for something as good as her recipe. After watching this video I'm wondering if maybe she actually made an etouffee. Have to try this recipe.
This recipe is awesome!
Of Trinities:
the Polish włoszczyzna (leeks, carrots, celery root and parsley root) We Poles are good at math and think a "quadrilogy" is a hedge for hard times, falling back on three when needed while still maintaining zest.
Thank you
I literally just made this, not having made nor eaten since I lived in Cajun Country 40+ yrs ago. I'm planning 7 Fishes Xmas dinner so I thought this might be a nice addition. I followed the typed up version of the recipe here pretty closely: halved the tomatoes, third more "trinity", 2 cups homemade chicken broth, 1 TBL Tony Chachere's version of Cajun seasoning/Essence. I wish I had added 1-2 tsp Ital. herbs as I felt this could have used more flavor. Added no salt: there's enough in Seasoned Mix for me. Rice recipe is exactly as I do it.
This chef uses Bieber Farms crayfish, other chefs I reviewed used Boudreau, Louisiana Select or Riceland when I could identify the package brands. I went to Walmart and they had Boudreau for $10. 12/12 oz and Riceland for$12.98/12 oz. 12 oz is adequate for 4-6 decent servings. I bought one package of each and used Riceland this time out. You want to buy Louisiana rather than Chinese tails, I would think, and if you have a Walmart's, see if they have as will be considerably less than shipping 5# as Amazon does.
Bon appetit et laissez les bonnes temps roullez!
Top shelf sir, thank you!
This stuff is my favorite food on earth.
I like that, did not use heavy whipping cream as I seen with other etouffees. I've done shrimp bur will definitely do Crawfish ends. All in all, southern food is the best hands down. 👌🏾
This guy is an MVP! Most Vacant Personality...
As a long time cook, I can say with total confidence that you won't go wrong by following this recipe to the letter. Be sure to try substituting shrimp, as it is also delicious.
Looks amazing
I made a gator an crawfish gumbo not to long ago in my red Le Creuset.. I called it the "Mulan Rouge" and my coworkers loved it
Looks grand and pretty easy to prepare I very familiar with making a bechamel or roux growing up my mom would always use either cornstarch and butter add milk to it you know whatever she was making she did it a lot when she was making gravies I'm definitely going to make this recipe looks really good sorry I can't eat rabbit they're too cute but yeah crawfish or a shrimp something like that yeah that that's fine
Thank you Avelar and you I'm sure have a great teacher I'm Emeril.
Excellent recipe!
I just made this added shrimp and sausage i loved it
Booo don't blast the man's food. He's not cooking for "you" 😁
Good instruction.
Rue Butter, flour, cook & whisk until brown. Add trinity. Onion, celery & bell pepper diced. Add green pinion bottoms, garlic & can diced tomatoes. Add shrimp stock. Turn your up heat.. add cayenne and boil 45 minutes to cook flour. Do not burn. Reduce heat simmer until think. Add clean deveined shrimp and let cook 10 minutes, garnish with green onion. Serve with steamed rice garnished with chopped parsley.
Thanks one handsome chef!😍
Good Job 🎉I’m going to make a mushroom etouffe for dinner tonight
Wow !! I would go to New Orleans for that alone !.
Kabali 17 you’ll get something different if you do.. if you want real Cajun food go to Lafayette.
@@petrosspetrosgali New Orleans has real Cajun food too but more of it seems to be more Creole than Cajun, but they're very similar flavor profiles. I do admit though for true Cajun flavor Lafayette area does things way different and it has a different quality to it. But as far as true New Orleans cuisine goes, this recipe is pretty spot on. He kinda skimped on the crawfish tails though
Well done!
They’re so many people on CZcams doing it wrong.
This is correct.
Good job, chef!
I loved how he lets it be known we used the left over Crawfish to make etoufee !!!!
He said it's common for people use leftover Crawfish from a Crawfish boil to make etoufee, which is true.
@@USA__2023 I thought that's what I said
Yep, I thought you were shocked and didn't know ppl do this. My bad:)
Great video excellent recipe!
I'm going to need more crawfish than that in my etouffee.
great video, thanks
mudbug season comin soon
Looks like a good recipe.
AWESOME!!!
I like his style😊
Down here in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana we never have left over crawfish😭😭😭 our thrifty is garlic onion and cayenne. We put that on everything lol. The bell and the celery are usually the extras but definitely necessary!
