Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine with Crawfish

    Add the crawfish tails, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, and bay leaves. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Mixture

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves, and serve the crawfish creole over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions.
