Ingredients

6 servings
- •⅓ cup vegetable oil
- •¼ cup all-purpose flour
- •1 small green bell pepper, diced
- •1 medium onion, chopped
- •2 cloves garlic, minced
- •2 stalks celery, diced
- •2 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
- •2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
- •⅓ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (Optional)
- •2 tablespoons seafood seasoning
- •½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- •1 cup fish stock
- •1 pound crawfish tails
- •1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns 'peanut butter' brown or darker, at least 15 or 20 minutes. I use a large fork with the flat side to the bottom of the pan in a side to side motion. This is your base sauce or 'roux'. It is very important to stir this constantly. If by chance the roux burns, discard and start over.
- Once the roux is browned, add the onions, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the skillet, and saute for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and fish stock, and season with the seafood seasoning. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season the sauce with hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper (if using), and add the crawfish and shrimp. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.
