2 lbs crawfish tails
1/4 lb butter
1 cup minced onion
1/2 cup minced bell pepper
1/2 cup minced garlic
2 tablespoons crawfish fat
2 cups cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 pinch dried thyme
1 pinch dried oregano

Steps:

Note: For a thick roux etouffee you can use Savoies roux in a 8 oz jar instead of corn starch for thickening.
Or make your own roux from flour and water.
Heat the butter in a saute pan and saute the onion, bell pepper and garlic until the translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the crawfish fat (or extra butter if you don't have any), plus 1-1/2 cups water.
Add the Creole seasoning, thyme, oregano, bay leaf and crawfish tails.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Dissolve the corn starch in the remaining 1/2 cup water and add to the mixture.
Add the green onions and parsley, and cook an additional 5 minutes.
Serve over your favorite hot long grain rice.
