Crawfish Etouffee image

Take a trip to the Big Easy with just one bite of this lovely dish! I recently made this in my cooking class that I host and everyone loved it! You can buy crawfish tails frozen in most seafood freezer sections. I actually bought mine at Walmart. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 c (1stick) unsalted butter
1/2 all-purpose flour
1/4 c peanut oil
4 large onions, finely chopped
4 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 large green pepper, finely chopped
4 Tbsp chopped fresh garlic
2 bay leaves
6 fresh thyme sprigs or 1/2 tsp dried
3 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 c chicken stock
3 lb crawfish tails, drained and juice reserved
2 c heavy whipping cream
salt and black pepper to taste
a couple of dashes of tabasco
white rice, cooked
6 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Make a roux by combining the butter, flour, and oil in a heavy pan and cooking over low heat until a dark caramel color, about 15-18 minutes.
  • 2. Add all the vegetables except the green onions and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 3. Add the bay leaves, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Slowly pour in the stock, whisking to incorporate it into the roux.
  • 4. Add the reserved crawfish juice and cook over low heat for about 1 hour,or until no flour taste remains.
  • 5. Add the crawfish tails and the cream. Mix well. Season to taste with the salt and pepper and dashes of tobasco cook for 5 minutes more and serve over steamed white rice. ( I like the Calrose rice the best)
  • 6. Garnish with chopped green onions.

I'm a Louisiana native, and I can say that this recipe is the real deal. The roux was perfect, and the holy trinity was flavorful. I added a little extra cayenne pepper for some heat, and it was delicious.
