Yield 1 Pot, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs crawfish tails
1/4 lb butter
1 cup minced onion

1/2 cup minced garlic
2 tablespoons crawfish fat
2 cups cold water

  • Add the crawfish fat (or extra butter if you don't have any), plus 1-1/2 cups water.
  • Add the Creole seasoning, thyme, oregano, bay leaf and crawfish tails.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Dissolve the corn starch in the remaining 1/2 cup water and add to the mixture.
  • Add the green onions and parsley, and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • Serve over your favorite hot long grain rice.

This etouffee is the perfect dish to serve with a side of rice. The rice soaks up all the delicious sauce.

I love that this recipe can be made ahead of time. I usually make it the day before I want to serve it. The flavors meld together even better overnight.

This etouffee is a great way to use up leftover crawfish. I always have a few extra pounds in the freezer, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little less cayenne pepper. Other than that, it was delicious!
