Crawfish Etouffee Recipe
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter, or use peanut oil
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper chopped (I use jalapeno for spicier)
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons Cajun seasonings or to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for a spicier dish
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups chicken stock, or use seafood stock
1 pound crawfish tail meat, par-cooked
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
FOR GARNISH: Extra chopped parsley, spicy chili flakes, hot sauce
Cooked rice for serving, if desired
Cooking Directions:
Heat a large pan or pot to medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Stir continuously for 5 minutes, or until the roux turns a copper color. Do not let the roux burn.
Add the onion, peppers, celery, and garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes to soften.
Stir in the Cajun seasonings, cayenne, salt and pepper to taste, and stock or broth. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to let the flavors develop, stirring occasionally.
Add the crawfish tails and warm them through.
Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
Serve over white rice (if desired) and garnish with extra parsley and spicy chili flakes. Don't forget the hot sauce!

Crawfish Étouffée | Southern Living
In Louisiana, crawfish season signals the arrival of spring. This classic Cajun étouffée starts with a simply seasoned roux. Enriched with crawfish fat, the recipe closely resembles the original 20s dish created by Mrs. Charles Hebert at the eponymous Breaux Bridge Hebert Hotel. A longtime Lenten favorite, crawfish étouffée has inspired dozens of variations including Creole versions that add tomatoes. Mrs. Hebert did not.

CAJUN CRAWFISH BREAD
I’m just going to say this first...THIS WAS FUN! I’m a Midwest girl, I don’t make a lot of Cajun food, but I think being adventurous in the kitchen in the best part of cooking in general! I gave it my best! It’s a great recipe! I would definitely make it again. Thanks to Keith in Louisiana for inspiring me! Make sure you read the notes at the bottom of the recipe as well because I made this recipe two different ways! We liked both methods!
CAJUN CRAWFISH BREAD
1 - 12 ounce loaf French bread, sliced in half, lengthwise
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons salted butter
3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
3 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
1 pound cooked crawfish tails, rough chopped
3/4 cup chopped green onion
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1-1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 - 8 oz brick of softened cream cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
3/4 cup shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
LETS MAKE IT-
Preheat oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sweet onion and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add the crawfish, green onions, and parsley . Stir and sauté for several minutes. Add Cajun seasoning and cream cheese, stir to melt and remove from heat. Add the Parmesan cheese and pepper jack cheese, stir to combine. Divide the mayonnaise between the two pieces of French bread. Spread evenly. Divide the crawfish mixture between the two piece of bread. Sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 15 minutes, and then broil on high for 2 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for 3 minutes, then slice into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
OPTIONAL COOKING METHOD: Mix in the Mayo with the cream cheese. Leave out the cheeses and add them to the top of the bread before baking. We liked both methods! ????????
