INGREDIENTS

  • Rice

    • 🍚 3 cups long grain white rice
    • 💧 7 cups water, divided

  • Base Ingredients

    • 🧈 ¾ cup butter
    • 🧅 1 large onion, chopped
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, chopped
    • 🌾 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 🍅 2 tablespoons canned tomato sauce
    • 🦞 1 pound crawfish tails
    • 🧅 6 green onions, chopped
    • 🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 ½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning, or to taste

STEPS

1

Combine rice and 6 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

2

While rice cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until transparent. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3

Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in tomato sauce and remaining 1 cup water. Add crawfish tails and bring to a simmer.

4

Stir in green onions and season with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.

5

Reduce heat to low and simmer until crawfish is cooked through but not tough, 5 to 10 minutes.

6

Serve étouffée over cooked rice.
