Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the etouffee gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them completely before adding them to the sauce. This will ensure even cooking and prevent them from becoming rubbery. If using frozen shrimp, adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure they are cooked through.
What can I substitute for cream of mushroom soup?
If you prefer a homemade option, you can create a roux with butter, flour, and milk, seasoned with mushrooms, to replicate the cream of mushroom soup. Alternatively, use cream of celery or cream of chicken soup as substitutes for a different flavor profile.
How spicy is this dish?
The spiciness largely depends on the Ro-Tel tomatoes you use. Original Ro-Tel has a mild heat, while the hot version will add more kick. If you're sensitive to spice, opt for the original or use regular diced tomatoes instead to keep the dish mild.
