Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Roux

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly for about 20-25 minutes until the mixture turns a rich brown color (this is your roux).

2

Sauté the Vegetables

Once the roux is ready, add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3

Add Crawfish and Seasoning

Stir in the crawfish tails, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4

Incorporate Broth

Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

5

Simmer

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Serve

Remove the bay leaves and serve the etouffee over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
