Dig into a delicious, homemade Cajun meal in this immersive class that reveals the step-by-step process for making no-fuss shrimp étouffée at home. The dish, now a staple in New Orleans restaurants and homes, got its start in rural Louisiana with Cajun home cooks.

Étouffée (from the French word for “smothered”) is a Cajun and Creole dish traditionally made with shellfish cooked in a fragrant, luscious sauce.
In this class, you’ll discover how the essential trinity of Cajun cooking – onions, celery and bell pepper – is layered with spices and fresh herbs to form the base of so many dishes. And, you’ll master the art of making a butter roux, too. Those skills can help you tackle other classic Cajun recipes with confidence. The étouffée will be served over fluffy white rice. You’ll make a simple crispy cornbread and bright lemony green beans to go with it for a scrumptious feast. As with all Chef Night/Date Night classes, dessert will be a FABulous Surprise!
This an ideal Dynamic Duo class to take with your friends, family members or a sweet Date Night and you can BYOB (we suggest a sauvignon blanc, chardonnay or Chablis)!
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples (live in the same household)
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!) On Chef/Date Nights you will always have enough for two and generally extra to bring home too.
We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
