Crawfish Etouffee Like Maw-Maw Used to Make

Ingredients

• •1 cup butter
• •2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• •2 onions, minced
• •1 green bell pepper, diced
• •3 cloves garlic, diced
• •16 ounces cleaned crawfish tails
• •1 teaspoon ground cumin
• •1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• •1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
• •salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. 1In a stock pot, melt butter over medium heat. When butter is bubbling, add flour to make a roux, stirring constantly to prevent or remove any lumps. Cook the roux for 5 minutes. Do not brown.
2. 2Stir in onions and bell peppers; saute 10 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Add garlic, and saute for 3 minutes. Stir in crawfish tails. Slowly pour in enough water to reach a little thicker than soup-like consistency. Season with cumin, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
