1
Prepare the Crawfish
If using frozen crawfish tails, thaw them in the refrigerator for about 4 hours or overnight. If using fresh crawfish, ensure they are cleaned and ready for cooking.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Finely chop the garlic cloves, green onions, and parsley. Set aside.
3
Prepare the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and set aside for squeezing later.

4
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.
5
Cook the Crawfish
Once the water is boiling, add the crawfish tails to the pot. Stir well and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes until they are heated through.
6
Add Butter and Garlic
Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped garlic. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
7
Finish with Vegetables
Add the chopped green onions and parsley to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
8
Serve
Remove the pot from heat. Squeeze the lemon juice over the crawfish mixture and stir. Serve immediately in bowls with additional lemon wedges on the side.
