Shrimp Étouffée
Chef Akhtar serves up his take on a classic and comforting Cajun dish famous in New Orleans. Étouffée is a French word meaning “smothered” and here it describes the technique of smothering seafood in rich tomato-based stew. Chef Akhtar adds succulent shrimp to the gravy base that's made with a traditional roux and the 'Holy Trinity' of onions, celery, and green bell peppers. It's a complex blend of Cajun, Creole, and French influences and you'll savor every last bite of it.
