Instructions: * Original was8 tbsp (1 stick) butter

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add next three ingredients, cooking five minutes or until onions are soft. Add crawfish tail meat and seasonings; cook 5 minutes. Add flour, gradually add water. Simmer for 20 minutes, covered. Serve over rice.

NOTES : What I would do is saute the veggies and crawfish in 1/3 cup oil.

After they are sauteed, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil, and then put everything back in the pan. Without the oil you will need to thicken the etouffee differently. Put the water in a shaker jar, add the flour, and shake vigorously. Add to the pan , and cook as in your recipe. If you miss the flavor, melt in 1 TB butter at the end. hope this helps. [From
