Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb crawfish tails peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup onion finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup celery diced
  • 0.5 cup green bell pepper diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups seafood stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup scallions sliced for garnish
  • 0.25 cup parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the seafood stock, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
  • Add the crawfish tails, heavy cream, cajun seasoning, and black pepper to the pot. Simmer for another 15-20 minutes until the flavors meld together.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with sliced scallions and chopped parsley.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
