Crawfish Patrick image

This is an old recipe from Uglesich's in New Orleans. I got the recipe from the T.P. years ago. Its a faster alternative to doing an étouffée in case you are short on time. Great with rice or pasta, also as my own twist I usually add a half pound of chopped tasso when I brown the celery and onions, just to give the dish a little extra meat.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
1 chopped onion
2 stalks of chopped celery
1 clove of chopped garlic
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
1/8 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
1 lb crawfish tail
3/4 cup chicken stock
3 chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Melt the butter then add the flour and make a light roux in a large skillet.
  • Add the onion, celery and garlic and brown for five to ten minutes.
  • Stir in kitchen bouquet and creole seasoning until blended then add crawfish tails.
  • Slowly add the chicken broth a little bit at at time until blended, if you like a thinner sauce add more broth. Also taste for saltiness once blended add more creole seasoning or salt if you more salt and spice.
  • Turn heat down to low and stir often for 20 minutes, it tends to stick a little at this point if you like a thick sauce.
  • Turn off the heat, add green onions and stir then serve over rice or your favorite pasta.
