1
Sauté the Aromatics
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2
Add Crawfish
Stir in 1 cup of crawfish tails into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

3
Incorporate Heavy Cream
Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and stir well to combine with the crawfish and aromatics.
4
Season the Sauce
Add 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the cream mixture. Stir until well combined.
5
Simmer the Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

6
Add Fresh Parsley
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and serve the crawfish cream sauce over pasta, rice, or your choice of protein.
