Authentic Crawfish Etouffee
Ready In: 25 mins
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 large green pepper, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- fresh garlic, minced (to your taste...personally, I can never get enough garlic)
- 1 lb crawfish tail, with fat
- salt
- cayenne
- black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- chopped fresh parsley
- cooked rice
Directions
- In heavy saucepan, melt butter.
- Add onions, green pepper, and celery.
- Saute until onions are transparent.
- Add crawfish, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
- Dissolve cornstarch in cold water.
- Add to crawfish mixture.
- Heat, stirring well, until thickened (which doesn't take long).
- Serve over hot, cooked rice, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
- *Note*: Crawfish tails are already cooked in the package. All you're really doing is heating them up. Don't over-cook them, or they'll be tough.
- Bon Appetite! :).
