Ingredients
-
2 12oz packages of Boudreaux's Crawfish tails
2lbs Pictsweet seasoning blend
2c Chicken broth
1Tbsp Creole Seasoning (Cachere's or Zatarain's)
Cornstarch (not included in calorie count)
Cooked Brown Rice (not included in calorie count)
Tips
I didn't include the rice or cornstarch in the calorie count as everyone I've known who cooks this prefers a different amount of those two ingredients. Also, since those two ingredients can vary so widely, I feel it's best to just add them to my calorie counter separately. Also, if you don't thicken this, it can be eaten as a very unusual soup.
Directions
In an 8qt soup pot, place the chicken broth and crawfish. (Both of these can be frozen when you start, it won't effect the finished dish.) Put the lid on, and the steam will thaw and break apart your crawfish tails if they are still frozen. Once your crawfish has broken apart and warmed, add your pictsweet seasoning blend. As these cook, they will release liquid making a bit more broth. (If there's not enough broth, or you want to stretch it some, just add more chicken broth.) Once it comes to a boil, make a slurry of cornstarch and chicken broth. Add the slurry to the crawfish to thicken it. For a very thick gravy, I use approximately 1/4c cornstarch. At this point add your creole seasoning. If you want a bit more kick, feel free to add hot peppers.
Serve over a bed of cooked rice.
Enjoy!
Serving Size: 1cup of the gravy over 1cup of rice, is a rather generous portion. (This recipe makes a bit more than that, but I had to ball park it.)
