Crawfish Etouffe'

Take your cooking a little Cajun this weekend with this recipe from Susan. I was not adventurous enough to make it, nor do I think my husband would eat crawfish. (I made him try a pasta salad thing earlier this week and so I can't make him try anything else new for a little awhile.) But perhaps you are feeling like going outside your comfort zone. Here's what Susan had to say about this recipe: "My hubby is Cajun. I have tried Crawfish Etouffe' in other people's homes and restaurants. I have never found one I love better than Mama Rena's (Brett's mom)." So here is the recipe!

1 - 2 lbs peeled crawfish tails
2 med or 1 1/2 large white onions
1/2 large bell pepper
2 stalks green onions
1 stalk celery
Tony's Chachere' Seasoning (to taste - you can always add more so go lightly at first)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Teaspoon of dried parsley flakes
Vegetable oil to lightly cover bottom of pan

Cut onions, bell pepper, celery, green onions and saute in grease for 2 to 4 minutes. Add crawfish and a little water. Cover pot - stirring occasionally. Season to taste and add parsley. Serve over rice.
