Crawfish Etouffee Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Gradually stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is a dark golden brown color, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onions, celery, and bell pepper to the roux. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add Crawfish and Spices

    Stir in the crawfish tails, chicken broth, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the crawfish etouffee over cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions. Pair with slices of French bread on the side.
