What's the difference in Etoufee and creole?

Looks like more shrimps and an obnoxious amount of rice to me.......

shrimp etouffee and shrimp creole are related ... but shrimp etouffee is roux based and thicker sauce .. and shrimp creole has a tomato base with a much thinner sauce and typically a lot redder in color.

Correct. Tomatoes and often oregano in Creole dishes. They are related but much different than Cajun.

I make a great shrimp creole from scratch. Basic shrimp creole is ketchup, wooster, La hot sauce, onions, celery, bell pepper, shrimp over rice.

That was the creole recipe I inherited. Too much ketchup.

I now start with a vegetable broth that I cook a few shrimp in to start. The I add fire roasted maters and chilies to start the sauce. It gets wooster and La hot sauce and plenty of sautéed garlic, onions, celery and carrots. The shrimp must be raw, frozen is fine, but boil them in salted zatarans seasoned pot of water for only a minute before adding to sauce. Serve over rice with garlic toast.

It’s a fast, cheap meal that most folks will love. My God daughter doesn’t like seafood but loves my shrimp creole.
