Servings: 4 to 6 servings
Cook Time: 1 hr 10 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

1 stick butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup diced celery
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups diced yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped bacon
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
1 cup beer
4 cups clam juice
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 pinch cayenne
1 cup half-and-half
1 pound precooked crawfish
Cooked rice, for serving

Directions

In a heavy bottom pan melt butter and add flour to make a roux. Stir constantly over a low heat until it takes on a beige color and loses the floury taste; about 30 minutes. When the roux is done, stir in vegetables, bacon and parsley. Add in beer, clam juice, bay leaf, seasonings and half-and-half. Stir, and cover pot. Let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Nearing the end of cooking time, add in precooked crawfish and serve over rice.

Okay, this brought my trust in Paula Deen as the QUEEN of southern cooking to a whole new level! I've never cooked with beer OR clam juice, but this was KICKIN! The only change I made was to use Tasso instead of bacon and that was a good choice! Thanks to Gulf Pride Seafood for the crawfish tails and tasso...right here in Franklin, TN! You have to try this and add a big loaf of hot french bread...Oh Yeah!!
