Instructions: Cook onions in butter in large skillet over medium-high heat until soft.

Add rice and saffron; stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine; stir until absorbed.

Stir in 1 cup broth; cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue stirring and adding remaining 1 cup broth and 3 cups water, allowing each to be absorbed before adding another, until rice is tender and mixture has a creamy consistency. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook until thoroughly heated, about 2 minutes.

If crawfish is unavailable, substitute deveined medium shrimp.

NOTES : A classic Italian rice dish with the Southern addition of crawfish.
