Ingredients
3 lbs live crawfish, rinsed and cooked
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs LouAna® 100% Pure Vegetable Oil
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, small diced
1 red bell pepper, small diced
1/2 cup celery, small diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup flour
1 quart chicken broth
2 tsp Tony Chachere’s® Creole Seasoning, to taste
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 cup half-and-half
green onions, sliced (for garnish)
bacon bits, for garnish
Directions
- Rinse the boiled crawfish, and set aside. In a large stockpot, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add onions, potatoes, bell pepper and celery. Cook until onion is soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in broth, creole seasoning, salt, pepper and cooked whole crawfish. Bring to a boil. Then, reduce to a low simmer. Cook for 30 minutes. Remove crawfish, and peel them. Discard shells.
- Add peeled crawfish tails and corn to the pot. Cook for 10 minutes or until heated through. Stir in the half-and-half. Taste and add seasoning, if needed. Garnish with green onions and bacon bits, if desired.
- Shortcut Tip: Frozen crawfish tails or boiled whole crawfish can be used instead of live crawfish.
