Crawfish Preparation

Serving

Method

Crawfish Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Crawfish

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crawfish tails with blackening seasoning and olive oil. Toss well to coat the crawfish evenly with the seasoning.

  2. 2

    Heat the Skillet

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned crawfish and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are just cooked through and start to blacken. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Creole Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. 7

    Return Crawfish

    Add the cooked crawfish back to the skillet and simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through. Stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
