Crab-and-Shrimp Étouffée

I wanted to make an Étouffée (Pronounced ay-TOO-fay) to round off my New Orleans' themed cuisine for Superbowl. I literally said, "F&CK YES", when I was doing my final stirs. This dish smells amazing and is loaded with such wonderful seafood goodness. One pound of crab meat and two pounds of shrimp make me a happy girl! It's not as spicy as I thought but the creole seasoning is nice - it's a subtle heat. I am in heart with this dish. I don't care who wins the Superbowl as long as I have a bowl of this.
