Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and mince the garlic.

Cooking

    Stir in the crawfish tails, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Add the Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika. Stir well and let simmer for an additional 20 minutes.

Serving
