Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
3 stalks of celery, finely diced
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 cups unsalted chicken broth or unsalted seafood broth
2 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Generous pinch black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 large tomato (seeds and pulp removed), diced
12 ounces fresh or frozen cooked crawfish tails, thawed

Steps:

Add the butter to a large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Do not allow the butter to burn. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery as soon as the butter has melted and sauté until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, and stir for about 1 - 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, and begin adding the first 2 cups of chicken broth one big splash at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add the remaining chicken broth and stir to combine.
Stir in the Worcestershire, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and diced tomato.
Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer for 6-8 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thickened. Stir occasionally. Add the crawfish tails and simmer an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with a heaping serving of fluffy white rice, and enjoy!
