Shrimp Etouffee.

Is that considered Cajun or Creole, and what’s the difference.

Cajun is west, (rural Louisiana) Creole/New Orleans is east, (city cuisine) for example Cajun gumbo has a dark roux, Creole/New Orleans style gumbo is reddish/tomato based.

Oh it gets a lot more complicated than that. There’s all sorts of little regional variations on gumbo. Some thicken with roux, some with file powder, some with okra, some use all of the above or some combination. There’s even gumbo z’herbes, made with greens.
