INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 🧈 1 cup butter
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 2 onions, minced
    • 1 green bell pepper, diced
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, diced

  • Seafood

    • 16 ounces cleaned crawfish tails

  • Liquids and Seasoning

    • 💧 1 cup water, or as needed
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • ⅛ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • ⅛ teaspoon hot sauce
    • 🧂 salt and pepper to taste

STEPS

1

In a stockpot, melt butter over medium heat until 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

Stir in onions and bell peppers; sauté for 10 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Add garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.

3

Stir in crawfish tails. Slowly pour in enough water to reach a consistency that's a little thicker than soup. Season with cumin, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.

4

Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
