Etouffee question

Would you ever put sausage in a shrimp étouffée?

Probably not. I would think smoked sausage would dominate the sweet, delicate taste of the shrimp. There's no law against it that I'm aware of.

Nope. If I’m eating shrimp etoufee, I want spoonfuls of shrimp … not pork/beef sausage.

I would add crab or crawfish if anything.

No. But if you want to try it, by all means, go for it.

The sausage would overtake the entire dish

Sure, why the hell not. It's just onion - butter gravy with bell peppers and celery, some garlic, some seasoning, and some flour to thicken it. Put whatever pre-cooked proteins you want in the end. Maybe don't call it Shrimp etouffee, call it Sausage etoufee with shrimp.

If I wanted that, I’d probably just make shrimp and grits.

I don't put sausage in my Red Beans because it over powers the flavor of the beans.
Fry some up and serve a sausage plate as an appetizer or a side dish.

Great answer. TJ Ribs does a "Seafood Gumbo" but they add sausage...but on the menu you it says "Seafood and Sausage Gumbo" and I am fine with that.

For my fricassees, gumbo and etouffees, I want either all land animals
or all aquatic. No mixing, except for duck and oyster with some andouille.

Thanks for the input everybody. I think I’ll make a sausage and cheese plate for an appetizer like the one poster said

I will say this, my wife would make shrimp and sausage gumbo for my stepfather for Christmas. It was a favorite of his and what he asked for each year. It was very good.
Personally, I would try it. I love sausage.
