Provided by Leah Stacey

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c butter (2 sticks)
4 bunches of green onions, chopped
1/4 c fresh parsley, chopped
2 lb peeled crawfish tails (if using frozen crawfish then thaw and rinse before adding)
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
2 lb velveta cheese, cubed
salt and pepper to taste
tabasco sauce to taste

Steps:

1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in green onions, and cook briefly. Add parsley and crawfish, and simmer about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in flour.
2. In a small bowl, mix together egg yolks and evaporated milk. Stir into crawfish, and reduce heat to medium-low.
3. Gradually add cheese cubes, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Remove from heat. Let it stand a little before serving that way it has time to thicken just a bit.
5. You can serve this in a small crock pot or in a nice bowl. I like to use the scoop chips with this dip.
